If I am declaring a private member in abstract class, although it will not be accessible in derived classes and can not be accessible by instantiating the abstract class. Then what is the optimal use of declaring private member in an abstract class.

Hello,1) You can access the private data of abstract class by using the public function of abstract class . That means you can create the object of derived class and using this object , you can access the private data by invoking the public function of abstract or base class.2) Using friend function.
