[Somesh Rathi]

When i tried to compile following program , it gives error " Can't Assign value to final variable this " Could you please explain it ?

public class ThisUsage {
int planets;
static int suns;
public void gaze() {
int i;
this = new ThisUsage(); // Compilation error comes here


}
}
Many Thanks and Regards,

Hi
'this' in program represents current object ....
it is not right when your righting this=new object();
you can use any varible of that object by this.varible but you can't use 'this' directly ok
if you need some more clarfication pls go to sun site java.sun.com tutorials....[URL=http://www.java.sun.com]
