Unity transform.position question

Question

Looking at example code for mesh deformation in unity

https://answers.unity.com/questions/746673/sine-wave-mesh-deform-with-different-directions.html

And i see theyve used

 public Transform Target1;
 public Transform Target2;


 void CalculateWaves ()
 {
     waves[0].Direction = Target1.position - transform.position;
     waves[1].Direction = Target2.position - transform.position;

And i dont understand the difference between Target1.position and transform.position without any reference to an instance.

Arent they the same thing. And how does transform.position function without a reference.

Answer 1

The keyword 'transform' by itself is equivalent to writing 'this.transform'. In other words, it's the transform of the object that the script is on.
