class C(x: R) NOT same as class C(private val x: R) #568
Conversation
It says on the [cheatsheet](http://docs.scala-lang.org/cheatsheets/) that `class C(x: R) ` is the same as `class C(private val x: R)` which is not true. In this case (`class C(x: R) `), x is just a parameter that the constructor can receive and is only a local variable inside the constructor and not a member of the class.

I agree the inaccuracy should be fixed, but I'm not sure this is the right way to address it. I believe the spirit behind saying that and, note that it isn't accurate wording to say that |
|
I understand what this is trying to show, but I think this should not be in the cheatsheet, the cheatsheet should be simple and not ambiguous. And thanks for the correction, I didn't know that it was also available to the methods and I see now why it is considered almost like a private member. |

interested in getting this across the finish line...? |

since this seems abandoned I've opened #620 on it |
