java “this” keyword proper use

Question

I have a Fraction class using keyword this in my constructor:

public Fraction(int numerator, int denominator)
{
    this.numerator = numerator; 
    this.         


        

Answer 1

Both the cases you mentioned will work fine.

Use of this is a good practice as its more readable due to our english mindset, When we say this.some_variable, we get a mental image of some_variable inside the current class

this keyword is also helpful in avoiding variable shadowing
