using System; 
 
class BaseClass { 
  public int i = 0; 
} 
 
// Create a derived class. 
class DerivedClass : BaseClass { 
  new int i; // this i hides the i in BaseClass 
 
  public DerivedClass(int a, int b) { 
    base.i = a; // this uncovers the i in BaseClass 
    i = b; // i in DerivedClass 
  } 
 
  public void show() { 
    // this displays the i in BaseClass. 
    Console.WriteLine("i in base class: " + base.i); 
 
    // this displays the i in DerivedClass 
    Console.WriteLine("i in derived class: " + i); 
  } 
} 
 
class MainClass { 
  public static void Main() { 
    DerivedClass ob = new DerivedClass(1, 2); 
 
    ob.show(); 
  } 
}

i in base class: 1
i in derived class: 2
