assignment operator overloading in c++

Question

I have used the following code for assignment operator overloading:

SimpleCircle SimpleCircle::operator=(const SimpleCircle & rhs)
{
     if(this == &rhs         


        

Answer 1

There are no problems with the second version of the assignment operator. In fact, that is the standard way for an assignment operator.

Edit: Note that I am referring to the return type of the assignment operator, not to the implementation itself. As has been pointed out in comments, the implementation itself is another issue. See here.
