<Neg206> Hello Fardad
<fardad> Neg206: Hi Neg206
<Neg206> On friday on lecture August 5
<Neg206> minh4.cpp after we set to B to 1234
? fardad is checking out the note
<Neg206> when we print the A(C(d)) is should print to 123456 or -123
<fardad> so, on first look, it you would say that it should print 123456,.....
<fardad> (Line 71 : A(B(d)).set(123456);)
<fardad> but it won't,
<fardad> it will print -123
<Neg206> yes why?
<fardad> because A(whatever) is not a call to a constructor(a constructor is not a function and can not be called), but it is creating a temp nameless object
<fardad> so you are setting data to 123456, but
<fardad> you are setting data of a nameless object who is going to die right at the end of line 71
<fardad> and the original A part of d object remains the same
<Neg206> yes die after simicolon so data is still -123
<fardad> yes, but if you replace line 71 with
<fardad> d.B::A::set(123456);
<fardad> then you are NOT setting a temp nameless but "A part of object d"
<Neg206> yes thank you
