Refer to the object using class function

Hi, I was curious whether or not I could do something like this:

void some_class::foo() {
	self.var = 1;
}

instead of doing this:

void some_class::foo(some_class& obj) {
	obj.var = 1;
}

If var is a member of some_class you don't need to put anything in front.

void some_class::foo() {
	var = 1;
}

If you have a local variable with the same name you can use the this keyword to disambiguate.

void some_class::foo() {
	std::string var = "What am I doing here?";
	this->var = 1;
}

Note that this is a pointer so that is why an arrow (->) was used instead of a dot (.).

Exactly what I wanted! Thanks :)
