method accessing it's own object

4 views (last 30 days)
it seems that a method inside a class definition cannot access it's own object, or at least it doesn't recognize it's own object. the only way i found around it was to put "obj" as one of the input parameter of the method, but this results in rather confusing lines like "Myobject.Mymethod(Myobject)". am I missing something?
many thanks

If A is an instance of a class that has a method foo that accepts a class instance and a double scalar in that order, the following calling sequences are equivalent in the majority of cases.
foo(A, 5)
A.foo(5)
See the "Dot Notation vs. Function Notation" and "Case Where Result Is Different" sections on this documentation page for more information about most of the (usually less common) cases where they are not equivalent.
