How the following code is working in c++

Question

Scheduler::Scheduler() : clock_(SCHED_START), halted_(0){ }

How the above is valid in c++, which was available in scheduler.cc of NS2 So any one kindly explain about the above code. Thanks in advance

This basic stuff is covered in all C++ text books.- why not read one — Ed Heal, Feb 07 '15 at 08:24

as @EdHeal said, check a C++ book

That's how you initialize members of a class while constructing an Object in C++. It can be used also for RAII technique.

When Scheduler is constructed, clock member is set to assume the value of SCHED_START and halted is set to assume value 0.
