No. It gets much more complicated. Imagine you need a class for one specific function. You create the class in the function, and then use the class in the function. So you can have 4 objects of this class, but it isn't accessible anywhere else... well... because it exists only in the Function.

generally , if we define a function inside a class its request to compiler to act as inline function ... inline function take less time compiling ... so functions which are smaller sized can be defined inside a class ... otherwise ,function which contain a loop, switch case, etc ... should be declare inside class but defined outside the class ..

No it is a bad idea to define a function outside a class as it creates complexity.
