The first part covers c programs, compiling and running, variables, types, operators, loops, functions, arrays, parameter passing basic types. For more information about how these operators work, see.
In the above example, the new operator allocates sufficient memory to hold the object of datatype int and returns a pointer to its starting point the pointer variable a holds the address of memory space allocated. The this pointer is passed as a hidden argument to all nonstatic member function calls and is available as a local variable within the body of all nonstatic functions. Avoid using dereferencing pointers that have not been initialized to a known memory loca. Among the members you find the cout stream, which is the standard output stream in. Selecting a member function means calling that function i. However, you can use a cast to convert a void pointer to any other pointer type, and vice versa.

This manual includes periodic safety checks that the trailer operator should perform. When this operator precedes the pointer name, the expression refers to the value being pointed, while when a pointer name appears. This is because of the padding added by the compiler to avoid alignment issues. Padding is only added when a structure member is followed by a member with a larger size or at the end of the structure.
