shawty support group made my day haha v helpful video ty

[@PunmasterSTP]

Underscore? More like an over-score, of educational videos for KZbin! Thanks again so much for making this awesome tutorial series.

Bro I don't wanna get up either 😔✊

"shawty support group"

[@vegansynths7757]

Ah. That underscore method is really going to help me as a beginner because I'm getting confused when you name things the same even though they are two different things. (please note the educated use of the word 'things'.)

2:30 XD

i'm curious: why are you not using "using namespace std;" at the beginng? then you wouldn't need to write "std::" in front of everything.

[@ManishSharma-eu4wy]

To avoid naming conflict, he spoke about that in some past video. Generally, writing "std::" is a good practice to avoid some errors and having a better understanding of the code.

[@joepeters8746]

eg. you want to use great extern libery for some stuff, which has a string to implemented.

[@OmegaF77]

Status is now a weird looking word.

[@THE_joshbeoulve]

My school's module says that setters should never assign values to their referenced properties and it reeked of bull. This pretty much confirms it.

[@chudchadanstud]

Can you provide a more clear explanation?

[@midas_9648]

great vid.. btw how do i create a setter for a string* ? could you advise ? :) ty

[@brocklesnarufcchamp1]

So the function get_status() will be the getter, am I right?

[@pierfrancescopeperoni]

Yes

[@PunmasterSTP]

Looks like you *got* it!

[@shaunmak8037]

What is the color theme you're using, its amazing @Caleb Curry

[@MrXavitaker]

I believe it's Solarized Light

[@manu-mm4pc]

what about when the attribute is a pointer how do set and get? bool* val;

[@CaptainZhariff]

What does "this -> status = status" means? Especially the functionality of ->

[@michaelmatela4582]

According to what I understood we're saying status (member of a class) is equal to status (the parameter).

[@chimpspecialist]

I'm also confused why we need to use "this->" syntax. What does "this" refer to?

[@joepeters8746]

@@chimpspecialist "this" is a pointer pointing to the Object itself, that is passed implicitly when you call a member function. "->" is the same as "(*this)." Bec. this is a pointer, you cant have acces with a dot, but you first have to get the value of the object the pointer points to, than you can get the value with a dot.

[@vanchark]

"this" is a keyword in C++ that refers to the pointer of an object. A pointer is a type of variable that stores the memory address of a variable or class object. "->" means go to that memory address stored in the pointer. So, "this -> status = status" means go to this object's memory address, and at that memory address, change its "status" attribute to the value of status. I hope this cleared things up.
