Hey SFML coders !

Please explain Precise and simple ... your knowledge will be appreciated
Here is the code i have.

 
/////////////////////////////
   ///Create the bullet
////////////////////////////
void Bullet::createBullet(sf::Texture &bulletTexture, sf::Sprite &bulletImage, sf::Sprite &shipImage)
{
  if(!bulletTexture.loadFromFile("Images/missile.png"))///creates the bullet
        cout << "ERROR:bullet could not load" << endl;

    bulletImage.setTexture(bulletTexture);///
    sf::Vector2f shipLocation = shipImage.getPosition(); ///Gets the location of the ship

    float locationX = shipLocation.x - 83;///sets the X location of the ship places the bullet of  it
    float locationY= shipLocation.y +4 ;///sets the Y loction of the ship

    bulletImage.setPosition(locationX, locationY);
}
 

////////////////////////
///Move the bullet
////////////////////////
void Bullet::moveBullet(sf::Sprite &bulletImage, sf::Sprite &shipImage)
