Revision 4052986 of "This" on simplewiki

{{wiktionary|this}}
'''This''' is a [[demonstrative pronoun]] used to identify a [[noun]].  It describes something that is here or nearby ("'''''This''' ball I am holding is red.''" or "'''''This''' is my home.''"). A very easy way to tell if someone is using '''this''' the right way is if the object that they are talking about can be pointed to. For example, if someone says "this [[computer]] is mine," it should be possible to point to the computer. It does not matter if the computer (a noun) is in the [[room]] or in a [[picture]].

'''This''' can also mean:
* In some [[computer]] [[programming language]]s, '''''[[this (computer science)|this]]''''' is a special [[pointer]] ([[C++]]) or [[reference (computer science)|reference]] ([[Java programming language|Java]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[JavaScript]]) within object [[method (computer science)|method]]s that refers an [[object (computer science)|object]] to itself.
