+Member variables should always be initialized in the header file, and should use the curly-brace notation:
+<code c++>
+class MyClass
+{
+private:
+  int some_member_variable{}; // default initialize to 0
+  int start_position{42}; // default value decided by the developer
+  static constexpr int step_size{2}; // and use static constexpr whenever possible instead of defines
+  std::array<int, 5> buckets{}; // default initializes all values at once
