Initialization of data members

　　In C++, class variables are initialized in the same order as they appear in the class declaration.

　　Consider the below code.

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

class Test 
{
private:    
    int y;
    int x;    
public:
    Test() : x(10), y(x + 10) 
    {
    }
    void print();
};

void Test::print()
{ 
    cout<<"x = "<<x<<" y = "<<y; 
}

int main()
{
    Test t;
    t.print();
    getchar();
    return 0;    
}

　　The program prints correct value of x, but some garbage value for y, because y is initialized before x as it appears before in the class declaration.

　　So one of the following two versions can be used to avoid the problem in above code.

// First: Change the order of declaration.
class Test 
{
private:    
    int x;    
    int y;
public:
    Test() : x(10), y(x + 10) 
    {
    }
    void print();
};

// Second: Change the order of initialization.
class Test 
{
private:    
    int y;
    int x;    
public:
    Test() : x(y-10), y(20) 
    {
    }
    void print();
};
