Okay. I have this code here from a book I'm reading, and I don't quite understand what those "this" refers to in the constructor method body. Hoping some kind soul could clear it up for me here T_T

package zoo {
public class VirtualZoo {
private var pet;

public function VirtualZoo ( ) {
this.pet = new VirtualPet("Stan");
this.pet.getAge( );
}
}
}

'this' refers to the object your putting the code on.
