The
"this" keyword is a special type of reference variable, that is
implicitly defined within each constructor and non-static method as a first
parameter of the type class in which it is defined, so the "this"
keyword refers to the class which you are currently writing code in it. I
mainly use it to distinguish between method parameters and class fields.

public class Person
{
string name = ""; //Field "name" in class Person
//Constructor of the Person
class, takes the name of the Person
//as argument
public Person(string name)
{
//Assign the value of the constructor argument
"name" to the field "name"
this.name = name;
//If you'd miss out the "this" here
(name = name;) you would just assign the
//constructor argument to itself and the field
"name" of the
//Person class would keep its value "".
}
