[RESOLVED] Initialisation Lists

Hi, was just going through my uni notes and found a question I can't find the answer to.

What is the difference between the following?

Code:

---

TextBox (const string &text, const Vector2f &position, bool visible) :
      _text(text), _position(position), _visible(visible) {}

---

And

Code:

---

TextBox (const string &text, const Vector2f &position, bool visible) :
      _position(position), _text(text), _visible(visible) {}

---

does it actually make a difference?

There is no difference since the order of construction of member variables depends on their order of declaration in the class definition.

thank you.

If you open up your compiler then you may find the difference in the orders of variable initialization and nothing more than writing a+b in place of b+a.
