4,824 PointsWhat does the "map" in map.OnMap do?
Is the "map" in the equation a new variable, or does it somehow compare the values of the previous map variable to the upcoming method OnMap?

" A few lines later, the "OnMap" method is called on it to determine if the Point object just created is valid ("on the map").
I'm not sure what you are referring to as the "previous map variable".
