hi everyone, can someone please give me some idea on this kinda function?
being thinking whole day and dont know what it means...
// intersection of this set with another
// Pre: a StringSet object
// Post: returns a new StringSet which is the intersection
// of this with otherset, ie. only the items common to both StringSets
StringSet StringSet::set_intersection(StringSet otherset)
{
}
(1)StringSet (2)StringSet(3)::(4)set_intersection((5)StringSet otherset)
This is a function defined as member of a class.
- (1) The function will return an object of type StringSet.
- (2) The function is defined as a member of the StringSet class.
- (3) The scope operator (:: ) serves to establish in which scope should this function be defined. On this case, it is the StringSet scope
- (4) The function name.
- (5) It's parameter. It accepts as parameter a StringSet object that it will call otherset.
To better understand how to define function members of classes, read about classes on some good tutorial like:

yap, thank you for that. but i mean code idea not definition sample... thank you
What's to think about?
Do you know what a set is - look it up at mathworld.
Elements which appear in both are the intersection, so just a loop searching for each one.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
