Thread: Constructor calling another constructor

Hi,

In my code I have the following constructors for my class Point:

Code:

Point();
Point(float x, float y, float z);

The first, instantiates a point at the origin, and the other instantiates a point at the (x, y, z) coordinates. I've got a method called move(float x, float y, float z) that translates the point to the given coordinates.

I've tried doing this:

Code:

Point(float x, float y, float z)
{
        Point();
        move(x, y, z);
}

But it didn't work. So, how can I do it? Is it possible for a contructor to call another constructor like this?

Thanks.

Try:

Code:

Point(float x, float y, float z) : Point()
{
        move(x, y, z);
}

Well, I guess that shows how long it's been since I've been in Cplusplusland! Too long in Csharpistan rots the brain I suppose

...just duplicate the code.

Yeah, I believe that's the best solution available. Thanks.
