Classes - Member functions and objects

How does a member function of a class talk about the object it's operating on?

Thanks.

Member functions don't talk.. You have been sitting behind your computer too long, mate ;-)

Every member function has an implicit 'this' parameter. You don't see it but conceptually the first argument of every member function is a pointer to the object it operates on, i.e., the 'this' pointer. You need this insight when you starting using boost::bind and such.
