Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.
The syntax for pointers in C++ is &pointer and *pointer. The arrow syntax is used e.g. in PHP. So this explain does need a review. And furthermore it should focus on the assert joke, understandable for non programmers.--Dgbrt (talk) 18:48, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Actually this works in C++ too. (*pointer).property is the same as pointer->property -- 17:58, 31 july 2013 (Time in Florida)
- Do you have a code snippet, maybe this could help me to explain this comic for non programmers.--Dgbrt (talk) 22:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
