Abstract :
The This pointer is a special pointer, which point the address of an object whose member function is being run. Using the This pointer in teaching C++ programming language is able to help students understanding the process of one object´s construction and destruction soundly. It is also helpful in students´ understanding the principle of dynamic memory allocation and dynamic memory deallocation. This paper listed several example programs to illustrate how to help students to understand c++ programs soundly.
