 - Therefore, the value of the assignment operator (v2 = v3) must be suitable for input to a second assignment
 operator. This in turn means the result of an assignment operator ought to be a reference to an object.
-- The implementation of an assignment operator usually takes on the same form for every class:
-  – Do no real work if there is a self-assignment.

   – Return a reference to the (copied) current object, using the this pointer.
 
 **Note**: In C++, the assignment operator is used for assignment after an object has already been created. And because of that, the following two code snippets behave differently.
