🚀 go-pugleaf

basically it is a way to access the current class you are using from within
it without knowing to name

this is a bit of sample code describing a simple class

class Coordinates extends Object {
  protected int x_coord, y_coord;                   // The preferred size.

  public Coordiantes( int x, int y) {
    this.x_coord = x;
    this.y_coord = y;
    }
}

so when you create an object  using it eg
Coordinates position = new Coordinates(12,15);

postion.x_coord will equal 12
and position.y_coord will equal 15

you can do many other things with it this is just a fairly basic example
