Can someone give me an example of when a private method would be more
appropaiate then a protected one?

I understand the definition of the two but I don't quit understand the uses.

A protected method is only accessible from other objects derived from the
same class.
A private method is basically the same thing but can only be called by the
current object.

*shrug* how are those two things different.
When would you ever have an instance that is going to call a method from
another instance?
