Interesting.   I can _rationalize_ why it would be that way, but I might have
taken me days to happen upon the proper syntax.
I'll give it a whirl and see where it gets me.
Thank you very much, as always.

Vector....   ?

So "yes" means the cpp file gets automatically referenced...

So in the .h file, I have in part:
class TMP117
{
public:
 TMP117(); // Constructor

 bool begin(uint8_t sensorAddress = 0x48, TwoWire &wirePort = Wire); // Checks
for ACK over I2C, and sets the device ID of the TMP and chooses the wire port
 uint8_t getAddress();            // Returns the address of the device
 double readTempC();             // Returns the temperature in degrees C

.....

};

in the program I'm writing, I have:

TMP117 sensor;
 and
if (sensor.begin () == true) {....}

So I'm _guessing_ that "TMP117 sensor;" assigns the "keyword" sensor to - either
the class or the public constructor.

I'm also guessing the simplest way to copy-paste code to deal with multiple
sensors would be to make a new class for each sensor? ?

Is there a way to do this that will play well with treating my functions as
elements of an array?   I just want to cycle through my sensors with a loop, so
having T_C = readTempC[N](); or however the proper syntax would look would be
most preferable.

This is worse than delving into POV-Ray SDL 7+ years ago after a 10+ year
hiatus.
"Painfully stupid newbie questions."  :D  ;)
