c++ - How to organize a class's member functions? -

i put 'sets' after constructors because related object setup. split gets (put gets in inquires) , sets not sure if or not. best practice organizing member functions?

how that?

class foo { // friends go here if has friend ...; friend ...;  // first public, protected , private public:     // enums     enum {...}      // type defines.     typedef ...;     ...      // destructor , constructors     ~foo();     foo(...);     foo(...);     ...      // sets.     void seta(...);     void setb(...);     void setc(...);     ...      // inquiries (including gets).     a() const;     b b() const;     ...      // operators.     void operator()(...);     ...      // operations.     void dosomething();     ...  protected:  private: }; 

it's hard judge, it's personal preference or company coding standard. looking @ code, few things may not agree:

• your declarations not ordered pubilc,'protected` private
• friend declaration has same effort when declare them in private area well. put them in private section, gives less noise in public section.

below declaration order use:

use specified order of declarations within class: public: before private:, methods before data members (variables), etc.

class definition should start public: section, followed protected: section , private: section. if of these sections empty, omit them.

within each section, declarations should in following order:

typedefs , enums constants (static const data members) constructors destructor methods, including static methods data members (except static const data members) 

friend declarations should in private section, , disabled copy constructor , other operators `should @ end of private: section. should last thing in class.
