Question

I have a header file which declares the prototype for the constructor. In a separate file I have the constructor and all other methods declared outside the class. The constructor must initialize constants as well.

How do I define the prototype, with the : constant_name(constant arg), etc.. or without and just write it in full form in the external file?

Answer 1

//---- prototype Some.h ----//

class Some {
    private: const int MAX_LENGTH;
    public:
        Some();
}

//---- implementation Some.cpp ----//

Some::Some() : MAX_LENGTH(512)
{
}
