Hello Everyone,
I am a beginner in Openfoam programming and I am trying to understand these lines of code. psiReactionThermo& thermo = reaction->thermo(); basicMultiComponentMixture& composition = thermo.composition(); What I can not understand is the usage of & and the -> in the codeline. 1. Does & call some functionality thermo of class psiReactionThermo. Or is it defining some kind of variable named thermo and then initializing it with reaction? 2. Further, what does the -> mean? Could somebody share what they mean? Last edited by vishalgarg474; September 25, 2020 at 05:44. Reason: tags |

These are not special features of OpenFOAM programming. Take a look at this:
