Can't understand the syntax c++

[turtail]

I have a problem to understand the following code. Can anybody please help me to understand it.

indication = MediumIndication::IDLE;
catIndication = bb->subscribe(this, mi, getParentModule()->getId());

catRadioState = bb->subscribe(this, cs, getParentModule()->getId());

catDroppedPacket = bb->getCategory(droppedPacket);

Specially, in this "bb->subscribe(this, mi, getParentModule()->getId());" part.

Here 'MediumIndication', is a Class, 'mi', 'cs' are object of a class, 'subcribe' is a function, 'getParentModule()', 'getId()' are functions. droppedPacket is also an object of a class. 'bb' is a pointer to a class. I hope it is now clear to you.

Thanks in advance.

Which part of that line is giving you trouble?

The syntax! The C++! It be too much. Gasp.

There are only five syntactic elements in that piece of code: Assignment operator (=), scope specification(::), dereferencing a pointer and naming one of the members of the object (->), function calls (()), and marking the end of a statement (;). It really isn't that bad... Start by learning the basics of the language from a tutorial. In a forum nobody can answer a request of the type "teach me C++", which is pretty much what you are asking.

As Alvaro said:
; - indicates the end of a statement.
-> and . are (sub)member selection
func1(int x) - function call with 1 parameter, namely integer "x"
