Let me ask you, why is this a class? I usually think of classes as something with member functions that do things with the data. I would have used a struct as a passive holder of data.



For one thing, it allows us to create instances which are immutable objects.

For another, we can use polymorphic calls with a class over a struct ('c' struct I take it you mean - as C++ structs are the same as Classes but with different default access rights).
