Is it possible to avoid repeating the class name in the implementation file?

Question

Is there a way to avoid the Graph:: repetition in the implementation file, yet still split the class into header + implementation? Such as in:

Header Fi

Answer 1

No there's not. Not directly at least. You could go for preprocessor tricks, but don't do it.

#define IMPL Graph::

IMPL Graph(int n){}
void IMPL printGraph(){}
void IMPL addEdge(){}
void IMPL removeEdge(){}

Also, you shouldn't even want to do it. What's the point. Besides it being a C++ rule, it lets you know you're actually implementing a member function.
