Dot Operator

Dot (".") Operator

The dot operator can be used to gain access to public data within a struct or some data types like vectors.

// working with a struct
struct strName
{
     string First;
     string Last;
};

void main()
{
     struct strName test;

     // dot operator assignment
     test.First = "Bob";
     test.Last = "Dobbs";

     // dot operator access<br />
     string sFname = test.First;
     string sLname = test.Last;
     
     // working with a vector data type
     vector v = Vector(1.0f, 2.0f, 3.0f);
     v.x = 12.0f;
}
