Help me understand the syntax

I don't understand the syntax's logic. In MyClass operator+, I assume we are overloading the operator "+" only for objects of the type "MyClass", simple enough. So this operator takes in a parameter, &obj, an object of the type MyClass, it's not clear for me what exactly it takes in as the parameter, obj1 or obj2 ? How do we know which is the current object, and which is the parameter object.

If it has one parameter that is the other object, the current object reachible by the this pointer. In this case its defined as a class operator. If has 2 params left has side LHS and RHS. Its defined outside of class, and works same.
