#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A
{
protected:
    int x;
public:
    A() {x = 0;}
    friend void show();
};

class B: public A
{
public:
    B() : y (0) {}
private:
    int y;
};

void show()
{
    A a;
    B b;
    cout << \"The default value of A::x = \" << a.x << \" \";
    cout << \"The default value of B::y = \" << b.y;
}
