Question

How to access members of the class inside a member function?

(a) Using this pointer only

(b) Using dot operator

(c) Using arrow operator

(d) Used directly or with this pointer

This question was addressed to me in an online quiz.

This is a very interesting question from Member Functions in section Class Members & Types of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

The correct answer is (d) Used directly or with this pointer

The explanation is: The members of a class can be used directly inside a member function. We can use this pointer when there is a conflict between data members of class and arguments/local function variable names.
