class private function for one task

elay (42)
is it only okay for a class to have many member function to finish a single task?

i do it to separate codes, but i will only call those private function once because i only needed it once., they say its good to have function that you will use multiple times in many task

class A
{
public:
void doTask();

private:
bool functionToCompleteDoTask1();
bool functionToCompleteDoTask2();
void functionToCompleteDoTask3();
};

void A::doTask()
{
    if ( functionToCompleteDoTask1() )
        functionToCompleteDoTask2();
}

void A::functionToCompleteDoTask2()
{
    if ( true )
        functionToCompleteDoTask3();
}


EDIT: i revise my first sentence.

How many times you call a function is irrelevant. Use a private function if that makes most sense.
