Private assignment operator

Hi Does anyone know what is the use of having the member function of the = operator has private? eg Class A { A& operator=(const A& a); public: void display() } what is the use of having A& operator=(const A& a)function has private ?

Yes, I know how to do both catching exceptions in the constructor, and catching them from the calling code that is invoking the constructor. Peace!
