This is a student's, not a school question. I'm just learning C++.
Just a quick example. Remember hearing something about this being wrong, but
can't rembember. If so, why?

class MyClass {
  int x, y, z;
public:
  MyClass(void) {
    Reset();
  }

  MyClass(int x, int y) {
    Reset();
    _x = x; _y = y;
  }

  void Reset(void) {
    _x = _y = _z = 0;
  }
};

I can't remember what the problem with calling a member function during
construction is (if any). It seems this way would be easier to add another
variable to a class, without rewriting all the constructors. Please advise.

Mike
