title: What is the difference between a sealed class and a private class?
body: <p>I know that you can not inherit from a class once <code>sealed</code> is used but I am confused what is the difference between these two: <code>private</code> and <code>sealed</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Can't we make the base class members <code>private</code> if we don't want to inherit them instead of the whole class? What is the point of using <code>sealed class</code>?</p>
