Is there a shortcut to write a function with the same definition but different prototypes?-CodePudding

I have a method of a class which basically looks like this:

void MyClass::method() {
    // Here I'm just doing something with parameters which are class attributes
    parameter_3 = parameter_1   parameter_2
}

I need another method which would have exactly the same body, but now I want the parameters to be passed in with the function call:

void MyClass::method(type1_t parameter_1, type2_t parameter_2);

I do not want to repeat the same code in another definition. What are possible solutions? The less ugly the better.

This can be solved using delegation. Simply call one overload from the other. Example:

void MyClass::method(type1_t parameter_1, type2_t parameter_2) {
    parameter_3 = parameter_1   parameter_2;
}

void MyClass::method() {
    method(parameter_1, parameter_2);
}
