dot (.) operator in C++

dot (.) operator in C++ is used to access members (data and functions) of a class, struct, or union through an object. It allows direct interaction with an object’s components.

• The dot (.) operator accesses member variables and functions using objects (not pointers) and is used for direct member access.
• It has very high precedence in C++, just below brackets, and shares the same level with the arrow (->) operator.
• The arrow (->) operator works similarly but accesses members through pointers instead of objects.
• The dot (.) operator cannot be overloaded, and attempting to do so causes compile-time errors.
