default constructor

Code:

---

class base{
  private:
        int x;
  public:
      base(){
        x=4; 
    }
};

---

is it correct to do this? set x=4 in a default constructor? want'ed to set the initial value of a variable in class that gets created by a default constructor.

Your question is, is it correct to properly initialize an object? Well... yes?

The only thing that isn't quite right is that you should initialize members like this:

Code:

---

base::base()
  : x( 4 )
{
}

---

Instead of what you have there (i.e., use the initializer list)
