Question

A short, maybe stupid question.
For classes and structs, sometimes I like to have member variables with the same name as constructor arguments. For example:

class Vector3
{
    float x, y, z;

    public Vector3(float x, float y, float z)
    {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
        this.z = z;
    }
}

Basically, I want to do this for structs too, but you can’t use ‘this’ in struct constructors (their use is reserved for classes, I think). Is there a way to do this or should I just give my arguments another name?

Answer 1

You can use it, but its a pointer just as in classes:

this->x = x;

By the way, a struct and a class are exactly the same thing for everything but the default access specifiers.
