| Difference between Dot(.) and Arrow (*) in C language | ||||||||
| Representation | ||||||||
| Dot (.) | Arrow (*) | |||||||
| The Dot (.) operator can't be overloaded. | Arrow (->) operator can be overloaded. | |||||||
| ex:(*foo).bar() | ex:foo->bar() | |||||||
| Note1: The parenthesizes above are necessary because of the binding strength of the * and . operators. | ||||||||
| Note2: *foo.bar() wouldn't work because Dot (.) operator binds stronger and is executed first. | ||||||||
| Possible way of dot and arrow usage for non pointer element in C. | ||||||||
| ptr->fld == (*ptr).fld | ||||||||
| str.fld == (&str)->fld | ||||||||
