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

I would suggest you to follow some coding style convention. Personally I use the:

class Player
{
    public:
    void setState(PlayerState *state)
    {
        _state = state;
    }

    private:
       PlayerState* _state;
}
