Answer / edward
yes... we can have private virtual method and will not give
any compile time/runtime error. but there is no use of it.
we could not call the method from out side of the class

Answer / nk
We can have virtual functions as long as we dont call the
function from a base pointer pointing to the base
class/derived class.
If we call then gives error.
The same error can be tested by compiling and running above
example.

Answer / sriram
We can have the private virtual method. But it can be
accessed only through the derived class not through the
base class.
class A
{
private:
virtual void fun() { std::cout << "A::fun" <<
std::endl; }
};
class B : public A
{
public:
virtual void fun() { std::cout << "B::fun" <<
std::endl; }
};
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
A* pa = new A();
((B*)(pa))->fun();
}
Output : A::fun

Answer / ganesh mishra
yes... we can have private virtual method and will not give
any compile time/runtime error.but when we derive any class
from it and override the virtual function,then the compiler
will throw a compile time error.
//file name is privatever.cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class base
{
virtual void fun()
{
cout <<"base class function"<<endl;
}
};
class derive: public base
{
public:
virtual void fun()
{
cout<<"derived class function"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
base *pt;
derive *der = new derive;
pt = der;
pt->fun();
return(0);
}
here is the error
privatever.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
privatever.cpp:6: error: ‘virtual void base::fun()’ is private
privatever.cpp:27: error: within this context

Answer / gopinath das
Yes , It we can have a private virtual method. It has
nothing to do with inheritance. It only resolve the dynamic
binding . Only difference is that , this method should be
used inside the class defination of the Base .
The derived class may implements the method either
public,private or protected.
Exa:
class A
{
virtual void x(){cout<<"A"<<endl;};
public:
};
class B:public A
{
//virtual void x(){cout<<"B"<<endl;}; // no prob
public:
virtual void x(){cout<<"B"<<endl;};
};
int main()
{
A *a;
B *b=new B;
a=b;
a->fn();
}
Out put:
B

Write a program to compute for numeric grades for a course. The course records are in a file that will serve as the input file. The input file is in exactly the following format: Each line contains a student's first name, then one space, then ten quiz scores all on one line. The quiz scores are in whole number and are separated by one space. Your program will take it input from this file and sends it output to a second file. The data in the output file will be exactly the same as the data in the input file except that there will be one additional number (of type double) at the end of each line. This number will be the average of the student's ten quiz scores. Use at least one function that has file streams as all or some of its arguments.
