My first question on here so please be gentle! Appologies if this has already been asked/answered, but a search didn't bring anything up. It's a question of curiosity:

Let's say we have a private variable called 'fred'. It the constructor we could initialize it as:

ClassName::ClassName(input params) : fred(0) ....

Inside the body of some code we could use curly braces:

fred{0};

Or we could use the traditional C assignment:

fred = 0;

My question is; is there any functional different? Or is it just style preference?
