THE ARROW OPERATOR

THE ARROW OPERATOR

Member functions can be called with respect to an object through a pointer pointing at the object. The arrow operator does this.

Example:

void main()

{

Distance d1;                // Distance is a class

Distance * dPtr;          // Declaring a pointer of type Distance

dPtr = &d1;

dPtr àsetFeet(1);       //calling member function of Distance Class with à operator

dPtr àsetInches(1.1)  // calling member function of Distance Class with à operator

cout<<dPtràgetFeet() <<endl<< dPtràgetInches(); 

}
