Do I have to break this java habit when using C++?
Author
Well I have a habit in java, which is using the same variable names as arguments to a function/contructor as the class has(sorry if I'm not saying it right), here's a simple example of what I'm trying to do:
what I'm trying to do is set the member of Date called d to the d passed to the constructor, this gives me the error:
date.cpp:16: error: request for member 'd' in 'this', which is of non-class type 'Date* const'
Is there a way to do this, or will I have to completely break this habit?
You would use "this->d" instead of "this.d"; but it's still a trifle unclear to the casual reader what you mean. It's generally a good idea to use different names for arguments than for member variables for the sake of clarity.

Of course when using anything other than a builtin type you're better off using the initialiser list:

class Date{ int d; public: Date(int d);};int main(){ Date date(1); return 0;}Date::Date(int d) : d(d){}Enigma

"SiCrane" is a fruity beverage?? Google doesn't say anything.
Feeble attempt to justify this post: As you can probably tell from the ->, in C++ this is a pointer to the object instead of a reference as is the case in Java.

I understood it as a general state of affairs.
jfl.
You will have no problem doing this in Java. I do this in C# all of the time, and Java will be no different.
