Subj: Which way is more C++?

FM>    Which of the two versions below is better in using classes?  They both
FM> yield exactly the same results:  (Please include why)
This is the C echo, not the C++ echo, but I will give you a quick reply.  I 
personally stick with the second method (functions are declared outside of 
the class definition), except for one-line function.
E.g.
class MyClass
{
private:
   byte  Info_1;                       /* First variable */
   byte  Info_2;                       /* Second variable */
public:
   void  Set_Stuff (byte x, byte y);
   void  Get_Info_1() {return Info_1;}
   void  Get_Info_2() {return Info_2;}
};
void MyClass::Set_Stuff (byte x, byte y)
{
   Info_1 = x;
   Info_2 = y;
}
