Thank you - only person ever to explain and use correct analogy for the keyword "THIS". You described it beautifully and makes perfect sense

[SmartProgramming]

very well explained, keep it up 👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

@cronnin You could just replace the constructor with a method e.g. public void setValues(int x, int y){...}. And then use the this command. "this" helps you to say ... listen compiler: with x i mean this x form the private variables and not the parameter of the consturctor or the setValues(int x, int y) method.

Excellent tutorial. I learned a few things here..

[MrAbIRaZ]

@cronnin you will either need a constructor or a method in order to understand the this keyword

[MrMarkgyuro]

thanks! now i realised that this is referring to the global variable

[cubmichaels]

basically the compiler thought you were referring 'x' as an object

[physicsimpossible]

You should use eclipse not Notepad++ as with eclipse you can just run it and it outputs it in a console window so you don't need to bother with cmd :)

[nikhil]

its confusing me when you create both the object name and the method name both same.. that is tutorial...i do not understand what what made you do that

[garbo]

so to summarize. is it true to say that we use .this when we have 2 vaiables with the same name???

[cubmichaels]

ie. it wouldn't print because x wasn't a t.object until it was referred as an object with the this. keyword

[thebigbang]

This is actually referring to the method's variables.

[syednayyar]

thumbs up if comment from bucky's video brought here, , and u are determined to clear the confusion caused by his video.

Can't anyone explain 'this' without using constructors?!
