accessing protected object in array

Question

what would be the correct syntax to access body, as these are objects not arrays and the parent objects is node:protected

 CourseObjectContent Object
    (
        [node:protected] => stdClass Object
            (
                [nid] => 9397
                [type] => book
                [language] => 
                [uid] => 1
                [status] => 1
                [created] => 1364217732
                [changed] => 1367581312
                [comment] => 0
                [promote] => 0
                [moderate] => 0
                [sticky] => 0
                [tnid] => 0
                [translate] => 0
                [vid] => 9406
                [revision_uid] => 1
                [title] => title text
                [body] => "body text"
    }

Protected (and same with Private) members/properties/variables of class are not directly accessible out of class or not accessible directly by class Object. So you need to write a Class Member Function for this to access Protected Object Array of that class

class CourseObjectContent {
    protected $node;

    //member function to access 'protected' members of class
    function accessObjectArray(){
        //TODO:Your code to access protected object array
    }
    //other member functions
}

You must write a function inside the class of your object to return 'body' value. Only functions belongs to the same class can access protected values of that class.

inherited or parent classes can access protected vars/methods. Private vars/methods are only accessible from the class.
