[C++] How to initialize my class like array

Question

We usually initialize an array like this

int arr[] = {0, 1, 2};

Is it possible to initialize my class using the same method as array?

MyClass c = {0, 1, 2};

Answer 1

Yes, it is, as you can see in the following example program:

This kind of initialization is called 'Uniform Initialization'. For more information regarding this topic, have a look at the following articles:

This kind of initialization works only thanks to the introduction of initializer lists back in C++11. If you want to learn more about those, then you can visit some C++ references:
