When class A inherits from class B:

class A: B {...}

Since I didn't specify the type of inheritance, What will the type of inheritance be? Will it be private since it is the default? Or, is there some sort of dependency here? In other words, will the inheritance type depend on the inherited class or the inheriting class?

Thanks.

If you don't specify anything, it will be private by default for classes. For structs it will be public by default.
