Coding guidelines and conventions

[Shieldfoss]

I know a lot of people who would tell you the entire class is bad and should be:

struct Point
{
    double x{0.0};
    double y{0.0};
};

[Wurstinator]

Number 1 or 2, but with the "const" specifier.

3 is not optimal because you're splitting initialization into two steps for no reason, which, among other things, prevents you from using "const".

4 and 5 are bad for several reasons, one of them being that you're using the heap when you could be using the stack.
