A header file contains the following class declaration:
class CAA2DCoordinate
{
public:
//Constructors / Destructors
CAA2DCoordinate(): X(0), Y(0) {};
//member variables
double X;
double Y;
};
Now what I do not understand is the line:
CAA2DCoordinate(): X(0), Y(0) {};
I would have thought it would be:
CAA2DCoordinate() { X = 0; Y = 0; }
just like the QDate constructor:
QDate() { jd = 0; }
What is the meaning of the colon ":" here, and what are the (0) things, and
why are X and Y *outside* the braces?
Thanks for your patience.
