    class method calls

    Hey all. Right now i'm using
    Code:
    class_obj_name.method_name(params)
    to call class methods. I'm just wondering what is the difference between that and calling it like so:
    Code:
    class_obj_name->method_name(params)
    ?

    You would use the latter if class_obj_name is a pointer.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
