problem inheriting

[javaguy1]

i have a protected member variable (actually i made it public but the code still doesnt compile) in my base class header file

vector<string> vocabulary;

i create derived classes

#include &quot;Person.h&quot;
class FemalePerson : public Person

derived classes have a private function

void createVocabulary();

the compiler gives an unknown identifier error for the variable vocabulary when it encounters it in
createVocabulary()

 

[palbano]

This compiles without errors (VC7 WinXP Professional)

class Person{
protected:
	vector<string> vocabulary;
};
class Female : public Person{
private:
	void createVocabulary();
};
void Female::createVocabulary(){
	vocabulary.push_back(&quot;hello&quot;);
}

-pete
