class base
{
  private:
        int i;
 
        void seti( int i_temp ) // :i(i_temp) ->Initializer List not working
        {
             i = i_temp;
        }
 
  public:
 
        base()
        {
 
        }
 
        base( int t ):seti( t )
        {
 
        }
};
 

class base
{
  private:
        int i;

        void seti( int i_temp ) // :i(i_temp) ->Initializer List not working
        {
             i = i_temp;
        }

  public:

        base()
        {

        }

        base( int t ):seti( t )
        {

        }
};

error C2436: 'seti' : member function or nested class in constructor initializer list.

That is the error i get for the code above it. could someone please tell me where im err-ing?

yes it works. but why doesn't this work

        base( int t ): seti( t )
        {
 
        }
        base( int t ): seti( t )
        {

        }

Afterall im jus calling a private function to initialize 'i'.

Re: initializer list err

you can call functions inside the body of the constructor. colon initialization can be used only for initialization of members or base classes (using copy constructor semantics).
