Just to add - it means 'by default' because you can define how the assignment operator works with your own classes. And memberwise assignment means the objects directly to the left and right of the operator (equals sign). "By default, such assignment is performed by memberwise assignment (also called copy assignment)—each data member of the object on the right of the assignment operator is assigned individually to the same data member in the object on the left of the assignment operator."
