    Help me understand following statement/syntax in C++

    Following is the syntax tht i came across:

    What does the intializing to zero mean in this case?

    Code:
     virtual nsecs_t getKeyRepeatTimeout() = 0;

    Thanks in advance

    It means that getKeyRepeatTimeout is a pure virtual member function.
