Should I use the same name for a member variable and a function parameter in C++?

Question

I am wondering if it is a good practice to use the same name for both a member variable and a function parameter in C++.

I come from a Java backgro

Answer 1

There is not really any difference between the C++ and Java, the only drawback is that you have to type this->state = state instead of state = arg.

But your code is perfectly acceptable, it's more of styling than anything else.
