c++ return this code example

Example 1: return use in c++

Terminates the execution of a function and returns control to the calling function (or to the operating system if you transfer control from the main function). Execution resumes in the calling function at the point immediately following the call

Example 2: retu7rn this c++

class myclass {
public:
   // Return by pointer needs const and non-const versions
         myclass* ReturnPointerToCurrentObject()       { return this; }
   const myclass* ReturnPointerToCurrentObject() const { return this; }

   // Return by reference needs const and non-const versions
         myclass& ReturnReferenceToCurrentObject()       { return *this; }
   const myclass& ReturnReferenceToCurrentObject() const { return *this; }

   // Return by value only needs one version.
   myclass ReturnCopyOfCurrentObject() const { return *this; }
};

Example 3: return function in cpp

void printChars(char c, int count) {
    for (int i=0; i<count; i++) {
       cout << c;
    }//end for
   
    return;  // Optional because it's a void function
}//end printChars
