Hi all,
Please take a look at this code. Is this the right way to use private constructors ?

class Foo {
    int p1 ;
    string p2 ;
    bool p3 ;

    private this(int a, string b, bool c) {
        this.p1 = a
        this.p2 = b
        this.p3 = c
    }

    this(int a) {
        this(a, "some string", true);
    }

    this(int a, string b) {
        this(a, b, true);
    }
}

    }

Yes and in addition to Ali's message then remember it's private for the module only.

Oops typo.

What I meant is that private is module level, so it's not private in the module, but it is for other modules.

Thanks for the reply. Got it. All I wanted to implement more than ctor with different parameters and avoid code duplication.
