asked on
returning a dereferenced pts in C++
A&
A::operator= (const A& a) {
if (this == &a)
return (*this); <----
}
Does the above make sense? shouldn't we be returning this and not *this?

Good to hear that reopening the question helped you better understand the issue.
A& would return the address of the object. *this the value. they are not the same.
