  • The -> operator (Score:1)

    Period should always go across a pointer if pointer addressed. The pointer should be a part of the typing. No period returns the pointer, period returns the entire structure and period then element returns the element in the structure. Type Vector2D
    X AS INTEGER
    Y AS INTEGER
    END TYPE

    DIM u AS Vector2D ptr, v as Vector2D ptr
    # u will point to the same location as v
    u = v
    # u will hold a copy of the contents of the structure pointed to by v
    u. = v.
    #u holds a copy of the element x in the structure pointed to by v
    u.x = v.x
