In Java you can declare a variable in a block (the most usual usage is 
for(int i=0;i<x.length;i++){..}) or a function, which is then the one to 
be used. To access the class variable you use this.var. To access the 
superclass variable/method instead you call super.var. A variable is 
local to the class/method/block it was declared in.
