Deconstruct c++ Class operator overload and constructor initialization list
0
Can You help rewrite this class in a more verbose way
ie(without constructor initialization list and the float operator overload)
or explain how it is working
class HigPassFilter
{
public:
HigPassFilter(float reduced_frequency)
: alpha(1 - exp(-2 * PI*reduced_frequency)), y(0) {}
float operator()(float x) {
y += alpha * (x - y);
return x - y;
}
int myfunc(bool x) { return 1; }
private:
float alpha, y;
};

"without constructor initialization list" For instance, instead ofy(0), you puty = 0;in the constructor's body. But honestly, I don't see why you would want to do that.

I will explain how this is working:
class HigPassFilter
{
public:
// Constructor of the class, with one parameter.
HigPassFilter(float reduced_frequency)
// initializer list initializes both data members of the class,
// 'alpha' will be set to the result of '1 - exp(-2 * PI*reduced_frequency)'
// and 'y' will be set to 0
: alpha(1 - exp(-2 * PI*reduced_frequency)), y(0)
// the body of the constructor is empty (good practice)
{}
// An overload of operator(), which performs a mathematical operation.
// It will increment 'y' by 'alpha * (x - y)' and
// return the difference of 'x' and 'y'
float operator()(float x) {
y += alpha * (x - y);
return x - y;
}
// a simple function that returns always 1 and
// will not used its parameter, causing an unused warning (bad practice)
int myfunc(bool x) { return 1; }
private:
// private data members
float alpha, y;
};
Read more in What is this weird colon-member (“ : ”) syntax in the constructor?. Initializer lists are a very important feature of C++, so I suggest you spend some time learning about them. Most of the times, you will initialize your data members in the initializer list-that's why this feature exists anyway.

@davidgangy you are welcome. If this answer helped, don't forget to accept it. As of your comment, parameter casting happens just like it would happen in any usual function you are using. It will overload the operator(), not the constructor! Read about overload vs override.

"without constructor initialization list" For instance, instead of
y(0), you puty = 0;in the constructor's body. But honestly, I don't see why you would want to do that.– Blaze

Nov 23 '18 at 9:30
Why would you want to drop initalization list? The request to remove operator is unclear. 1. It's not a "float operator" 2. Where would this functionality go? It's really hard to tell what your problem is here... One thing you could do is to wrap calculation for initializing
alphainto a private function.– luk32
