PRG 218 Wk 4 Discussion – Functions vs. Member Functions

Post a total of 3 substantive responses over 2 separate days for full participation. This includes your initial post and 2 replies to other students.

Due Thursday

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

You can think of normal functions as “black boxes” that accept parameters (or not), do some processing, and return some value (or not). Member functions (sometimes referred to as “methods” in other object-oriented programming languages, such as Java) are similar in some ways to normal functions, but also dissimilar.

Research and discuss the ways in which a C++ member function is like and unlike a regular function.
