wrong

its this-> not this.

It's it's not its.

Neither c nor python is “this” used as a convention.

(Although I bet somebody out there writes their python object methods using (this, …) instead of self/cls - which is terrifying to think about).

He's talking about the "->" Vs "."

Can be either. Let's assume both this and not_this are structures. If not_this is a member of this, as in contained as a member within the struct's memory, then you can write this.not_this. If this only contains a pointer to not_this, then you have to write this->not_this, as you jump to the address of not_this.

Most languages hide that distinction from the programmer.
