Is it possible to access private fields of a base class without using base class methods?

Question

Programming

Hello!
Help the poor student, stuck on such a problem that you need to access the hidden fields of the base class without using the methods of this class, is this even possible?

Answer 1

Google "reflection"

Answer 2

Everything is possible, but not the fact that it is simple. You can define offsets inside an object and access memory directly, no one forbids this.
