    Question Brace initialisation

    I have a simple question regarding this snippet of code.

    Code:
    class vmSize
    {
    public:
        vmSize() : m_Width{ 0 }, m_Height{ 0 } {}
    
    private:
        int m_Width {};
        int m_Height {};
    };
    It shows brace initialisation in the private section and then initialisation in the constructor. Am I right in thinking that I only need the method used in private and I can remove initialisation from the constructor?

    Re: Brace initialisation

    Thanks 2kaud, Got myself confused here, so now I will remove the initialiser list in the constructor when I use int m_Width {}; in the private section and take it as read that for more complicated types like CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFOEX m_ScreenBufferInfo{}; will in fact initialise everything in it. I would not know how to initialise that in a initialiser list.
