what does "rhs" mean?

[Bash]

Hi, I recently started learning pure C++ and want to know what does "rhs" mean? For example: class MyClass { public: MyClass& operator=(const MyClass& rhs); }; I've investigated that "rhs" is frequently-used in operator overloaders in C++ classes. What is "rhs"? May I use another word (for example, "dog") instead "rhs"? Sorry for stupid question. Yours sincerely, Alex Bash

rhs = Right Hand Side. And yes, you can use anything you want, but rhs is normally used because it does a good job of describing the fact that the parameter will be on the right hand side of the = sign. Tim

hi, "rhs" is just the name of the input parameter, you can also use "cat" if you want, but only if you like cats ;-) Have a nice day! hph
