Accessing Private Member Functions

[Xistenial]

Real quick question. Say I have the following code:

  class Base
{
public:
// Some public shit

private:
int secret();

I then innitialise an object BaseObject:

Base BaseObject

Now I wish to call secret as follows

BaseObject.secret();

Now I know this is incorrect cause its private and cannot be accessed outside the class, but then how should I call it?

You can call it inside other member functions of the class.

Thanks may I please get an example?

#include <iostream>

struct A
{
   void f() const { g(); }

private:
   void g() const { std::cout << "Hello World"; }
};

int main()
{
   A().f();
}
