member function of classs

[ErrorFree]

Hi friends i m not sure whether i can define a member function inside a class or not in C++. Is the following code is legal?

#include<iostream> using namespace std;
class adder
{
private:
int a;
int b;
int c;
int answer;
public:
void getNums()
{
cout<<"enter numbers:"<<endl;
cin>>a>>b>>c;
}
void showRes()
{
answer=a+b+c;
cout<<''Sum of the numbers: ''<<answer<<endl;
}
};

Does it compile?
The answer to the above question is the same as the answer to your question.

There is no problem to define a member function within a class definition.

While that is true in this case... I wouldn't pitch that as if it were a golden rule to go by.

A lot of non-standard code that shouldn't work often compiles and does "work". Especially on older compilers.

So IMO we shouldn't discourage people from asking whether or not something is legal.

However a template member function may not be defined within a local class definition.:)
