This. makes more sense

I'm now taking the time to make flashcards when I study. This practice is forcing me to stop when I don't understand something. The whole concept of "this." in Java is easy to skip past when I'm watching tutorials at 2x speed; it finally makes sense though.

"this." allows us to have identical names for fields and parameters without causing confusion.

public String text;

public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
}
