C++ OOP: Which functions to put into the class?
- by oh boy
Assume I have a class a:
class a
{
public:
void load_data( );
private:
void check_data( );
void work_data( );
void analyze_data( );
}
Those functions all do something with the class or one of its members.
However this function:
bool validate_something( myType myData )
{
if ( myData.blah > 0 && myData.blah < 100 )
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
Is related to the class and will only be called by it, so it won't be needed anywhere else
Doesn't do anything with the class or its members - just a small "utility" function
Where to put validate_something? Inside or outside the class?
