Calling a method from another method in the same class in C++

Question

I wrote a method (that works fine) for a() in a class. I want to write another method in that class that calls the first method so:

void A::a() {   do_stuff; }  void A::b() {   a();   do_stuff; } 

I suppose I could just rewrite b() so b(A obj) but I don't want to. In java can you do something like this.a().

I want to do obj.b() where obj.a() would be called as a result of obj.b().

What you have should work fine. You can use "this" if you want to:

void A::b() {   this->a();   do_stuff; } 

or

void A::b() {   this->A::a();   do_stuff; } 

or

void A::b() {   A::a();   do_stuff; } 

but what you have should also work:

void A::b() {   a();   do_stuff; }
