Private Inheritance Basics

With private inheritance, the base class's public interface becomes PRIVATE in the derived class. It models "implemented in terms of" rather than "is-a".

Base class Timer (already written) has a public int ticks() const returning 10.

Create a class Stopwatch that inherits from Timer using PRIVATE inheritance, and expose the behavior through a public method int elapsed() const that returns ticks().

The program prints the output shown in Expected Output.

Do NOT write a main function.

Expected Output:

10

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
