Yeah. That's the only reason that I ever use the this pointer/reference. - Jonathan M Davis

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.

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. - Jonathan M Davis

Is there something like "this" word for classes?
For example:

You forgot an int in the arguments but otherwise that would
work fine with your line uncommented.
yes I missed "int", but it's just an example.
so if I'll write "this.property = value" it will work?
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.
