Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - “this”-Part 2

The video tutorial addresses a common issue in Java programming where parameter names in methods can hide instance variables, leading to unexpected behavior. It explains the memory allocation on the stack and heap, and how method calls like 'customize' and 'get description' interact with these memory structures. The tutorial demonstrates the problem of variable hiding and offers solutions, including renaming variables or using the 'this' keyword to reference instance variables directly. The video concludes with a brief mention of using 'this' for constructor chaining.

What is the outcome of calling 'getDescription' after customizing a car with the same parameter names?

What changes can be made to avoid hiding instance variables in methods?
