In the Chapter 5 of Professional C# 2nd Edition i find a problem about the example of MortimerPhonesEmployees.As follows:
    class EmployeeID
  {
    private readonly char prefix;
     private readonly int number;
      ..........
      ..........
      public override bool Equals(object obj)
      {
          mployeeID rhs = obj as EmployeeID;
           if(rhs == null)
              return false;
          if(prefix == rhs.prefix && number == rhs.number)
            return true;
          return false;
      }

  prefix and number are the private members of the object rhs,why it can be used like the bold?Thanks for the helper!

okay,prefix and number are private for other classes(rhs is inside the EmployeeID class).
