    Java – this keyword

    on Jul 23, 2016

    Using this to access a field

    In case a field is shadowed by method or constructor parameter, the field can be accessed using this keyword.

    public class Example {
      public int val;
      public Example(int val) {
        this.val = val;
      }
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example obj = new Example(10);
        System.out.println(obj.val);
      }
    }
    10
    

    Using this to call another constructor of same class

    public class Example {
      public int val;
      public Example() {
        this(100);
      }
      public Example(int val) {
        this.val = val;
      }
      public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example obj = new Example();
        System.out.println(obj.val);
      }
    }
    100
