I tested already and it really works, thank you.
I asked that because I tried once to use "this" in past but I got
error. So I asked on some forum "how to get property of class?"
and peoples said that I may use just a name of property. So I
thought that there isn't "this" word.
I don't know why you were having trouble before, but I think that most
people never use an explicit this unless they need to, so plenty of folks
would have just told you to remove the this from you code, especially if it
worked without.
In the case of the original post, however, you *need* to use this.value,
as the parameter masks the member of the same name. Using 'this' removes
ambiguity.
This is a typical pattern seen in many languages. Often the intuitive
name of a member is the same name as you want for the parameter of the
constructor.
