How can compiler resolve the correct constructor with default argument?

[newbie]

If I have the following class

Class Test {
public:
Test(int value) _value(value) { _passed = false; }
Test(int value, bool passed = true) _value(value), _passed(passed)
{}
private:
int _value;
bool _passed;
}

main() {
Test mytest(1); // which constructor will be used? what is the
_passed value in this class?
}

If I have the following class

Class Test {
public:
Test(int value) _value(value) { _passed = false; }
Test(int value, bool passed = true) _value(value), _passed(passed)

Colons seem to be missing in the previous two lines...

{}
private:
int _value;
bool _passed;
}

A semicolon is missing here.

main() {

int main() {

Test mytest(1); // which constructor will be used? what is the
_passed value in this class?

The comment seems to be wrapping to the next line. Try using /**/
instead of //

}

Why don't you try it with your compiler? Get rid of syntax errors
in your code, then see which constructor is picked...
