It is a pointer that points to a member of a structure.
Every non-static member function has a hidden pointer parameter named this which refers to the instance of the class the function was invoked against. For a given class, C, the type of the hidden this pointer is const C* but if the function is declared const, the pointer is const C* const. When referring to any class member, m, from within any non-static member function, this->m is implied.
There is no 'this' in C. C is not an object-oriented language. C++, however, is object-oriented. The 'this' pointer is used by non-static member functions to determine which instance of a class the function should operate upon.
The only "special" operators in C++ are those that cannot be overloaded. That is; the dot member operator (.), pointer to member operator (.*), ternary conditional operator (:?), scope resolution operator (::), sizeof() and typeof().
The "this" pointer is a pointer to the instance of the object, with scope within a member function of that object. It is not always necessary to use it, as references to variables defined in the object will be implicitly prefixed with "this->", but it can resolve name scoping problems, and it can make the code more readable.
Increment or decrement the pointer by the required offset.
no
the purpose of pointer in c for saving the memory space.,and reduce the length and complexity of the program
Pointer in C is Memory Reference. It stores memory address of any variable, constant, function or something you later use in your programming. Pointer basically used to ease the referencing of variables and others or in polymorphism and inheritance.
Objective-C was created in 1986.
The pointer that points to a block of memory that does not exist is called a dazzling pointer or wild pointer
C does not have stream pointers.
A pointer in itself is not an object, because it is not an instance of a class. Of course you can define a class which has only one member, which is a pointer. class Pointer { public void *ptr; }; Pointer p, q, r;
