Here's the line of code I'm having issues understanding.

void updateFilter(bool bRecalc = true);

We have a prototype here that has been placed in my main header file. What is the purpose of setting bRecalc within this declaration? I would expect this to look like:

void updateFilter(bool bRecalc);

Thanks for the help.

My best guess is that it allows for the function call to have no value passed to it, and the default value will be true.

Yes, that sets the default behavior so updateFilter() does the same thing as updateFilter(true). There are restrictions when you do this with multiple arguments (the ones with defaults have to be at the end of the list).
