Can someone explain why you can’t use ‘this’ in a private method?
Or maybe I’m reading this wrong; it lists a private method and says “Does not work with the this. operator”?

My guess is that you are trying to use
thiswithin aprivate staticmethod. That is not allowed because:thisrefers to the target object, andstaticmethods have no notion of a target object.If that doesn’t help, then post a code snippet and the exact compilation error message / context.
