question regarding "this" pointer in c++
- by sil3nt
hello there, i have been given class with int variables x and y in private, and an operator overload function,
class Bag{
private:
int x;
int y;
public:
Bag();
~Bag();
//.......
//.....etc
};
Bag operator+ (Bag new) const{
Bag result(*this); //what does this mean?
result.x += new.x;
result.y += new.y;
}
What is the effect of having "Bag result(*this);" there?.
