access pointer value c++ code example

Example: what is this pointer in c++

Every object in C++ has access to its own address through an important pointer called this pointer.
 The this pointer is an implicit parameter to all member functions. 
Therefore, inside a member function,
 this may be used to refer to the invoking object.

Friend functions do not have a this pointer,
 because friends are not members of a class. 
Only member functions have a this pointer.
