Member function definition outside of class

Question

Is it possible to define function or method outside class declaration? Such as:

class A 
{
    int foo;
    A (): foo (10) {}
}

int A::bar () 
{
    return          


        

Answer 1

Yes, but you have to declare it first in the class, then you can define it elsewhere (typically the source file):

// Header file
class A 
{
    int foo = 10;
    int bar(); // Declaration of bar
};

// Source file
int A::bar() // Definition of bar 
{
    return foo;
}
