The this keyword is a special pointer often used in operator overloading and miscellaneous object oriented concepts. There is not much to tell about this keyword, which means that this tutorial will be a short one. Nevertheless, one needs a thorough understanding of what this pointer means to move on with certain basics of the C++ language. A common theme is operator overloading. Operator overloading is not discussed in this tutorial.
Once again, the this pointer/keyword is not an intensive subject to study, so the code presented here will be very easy to understand.
Prerequisites:
Very basic knowledge and handling of classes and it's instances (objects).
Basic understanding and handling of pointers.
Basic understanding and handling of functions. This includes passing parameters by value and by reference.
Every code presented here is complete and ready to be copied into your console project. Only one *.cpp file is required.
