this pointer problem

hello.
i am having a problem with the this-pointer in the code below. for the
command: "MyFunctB(this)"; i am getting the following error:
error C2664: 'cTest::MyFunctB' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'cTest *const ' to 'cTest'

whats the problem?
thanks.
V.K.

Code:

class cTest

{

public:

        cTest()

        {

                for (int i=0;i<3;i++)

                        dat[i] = rand()%43;

        }

        void MyFunctA ()

        {

                MyFunctB(this);

        }

        void MyFunctB (cTest a)

        {

        }

private:

   int dat[3];



};



int main()

{

        int i=0;



        srand(time(0));

        cTest A;



        A.MyFunctA();



        _getch();

    return 0; 

}

Re: this pointer problem

Code:

        void MyFunctA ()

        {

                MyFunctB(this);      'this' is a pointer to a cTest

        }

        void MyFunctB (cTest a)  'a' is an actual cTest object

        {

        }

Types have to match or be convertible. Why would you pass the 'this' pointer? It's automatically passed implicitly. Now you just have two copies.
