cl***** with pointer data members.

Whenever a class has a pointer data member, e.g.
class T {
     .....
     type *pointer;

     .....
};

it will have a copy constructor, the operator=, and a destructor. The
operator= will normally be defined, for instance, as
T& T::operator=(const T& other){

    if (this == &other){
       return *this;
    }
    else {
      delete pointer;
      pointer = new type;
      pointer = other.pointer;
    }
  return *this;
}

Can anybody tell me, when a class has multiple pointers (of the same
and/or different types) how is operator= defined? Thank you.
