c is there a way of use properties allready declared in the header file inside implementation-CodePudding

I know it's a basic question, but I didn't find the answer anywhere.

Supose we have this header:

#pragma once;
#include "user.h"

class Teacher
{
public:
    float teachSkill = 0.01;
    void teach(User &user);
};

And a implementation like this:

#include "teacher.h"

class Teacher
{
public:
    float teachSkill;
    void teach(User &user)
    {
        user.knowledge  = (*this).teachSkill;
    }
};

if we already declared that teachSkill property in the header, is there a way c compiler can understand that this property is in the header on an implementation like this:

#include "teacher.h"

class Teacher
{
public:
    void teach(User &user)
    {
        user.knowledge  = (*this).teachSkill;
    }
};

CodePudding user response：

You can simply write, in the implementation:

void Teacher::teach(User &user)
{
    user.knowledge  = (*this).teachSkill;
}

No need to re-declare the class there.

Furthermore, you don't need (*this), so it's simply:

void Teacher::teach(User &user)
{
    user.knowledge  = teachSkill;
}
