This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?

That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!

No, read what I said again: "this is always the current instance of the current class" If you are executing class code, the system sets this for you. null is very different and indicates "no instance here at all".

No, no - if he provides the address I'll email the tutor, no problem! This is a Moral issue, after all ... :D

Back in the 80's, my PM ordered his new company Vauxhall Cavalier in "Arctic Fox" because it sounded cool. Or "Pink" as everyone else called it when it arrived ... :laugh:
