Line 43:

private int foo; // Name "foo" is declared in the outer scope

public void setFoo(int foo) { // Name "foo" is declared in the inner scope, asand wellis function-local.

this.foo = foo; // Since "foo" will be first found (and resolved) in the ''innermost'' scope,

this.foo = foo;

// in order to successfully overwrite the stored value of attribute "foo"

// with the new value of incoming parameter "foo", a distinction is made

// between "this.foo" (the object attribute) and "foo" (the function parameter).
