I'm beginning with Fortran and I wanted to try a pretty simple example - one abstract class Connection, then its derived class IntervalConnection, while Connection class would have a constructor defined and IntervalConnection would inherit this constructor.
In this constructor I have several private variables, which I need to initialize.
The problem is, I'm getting following error, when trying to create a new object: Connection.f08:152:10:
con = IntervalConnection(n1_p, n2_p, 5.0)
1
Error: Component ‘input_neuron’ at (1) is a PRIVATE component of ‘connection’
I suppose I'm not defining the constructor new_connection
correctly. Could you, please, tell me, how should I implement it in a better way?
My code
module Connection_mod
implicit none
