class syntax question

[AeonFlux1212]

Here's a bit of code:

CvClimateInfo::CvClimateInfo() :
m_iDesertPercentChange(0),
m_iJungleLatitude(0),
m_iHillRange(0),
m_iPeakPercent(0),
m_fSnowLatitudeChange(0.0f),
m_fTundraLatitudeChange(0.0f),
m_fGrassLatitudeChange(0.0f),
m_fDesertBottomLatitudeChange(0.0f),
m_fDesertTopLatitudeChange(0.0f),
m_fIceLatitude(0.0f),
m_fRandIceLatitude(0.0f)
{
}

does this means that these variables are initialized with the values between parentheses?

Yes, everything after the : is part of the instance member initialization list. It is more efficient than doing operator= assignments in the constructor body in some cases, and it allows you to call other constructors of a member object than the default constructor.

In C++11, you can have default values specified with the member declarations rather than copypasting code between constructors:

class MyClass
{
    int member_var {7};
};

Also, use [] and not <> for the code tags.
