"this"
Am I correct in saying this? I'm still trying to wrap my head around "this" pointers... Thanks in advance!
"this" keyword is a type of pointer and when using "this" you need to use the arrow member selection operator to point to a function or variable within the class because "this" is a pointer and it stores as it's variable the address of the current object working with once the object is created.
(*this).A is called dereferencing a pointer, it's a pointer that takes the address of the current object working with once the object is created and calls whatever variable or function using the dot separator, explicitly calling a variable or function.
Calling a standard variable i.e

Calling a standard variable i.e
cout << A << endl; in main or a class just assumes you are working with said variable in whatever location applicable.
Here is example I asked about, might help:
