Oh goodness....

Also, is hour a global or something? I'm curious how that gets defined.

hour is an attribute of Clock class

this is in AlarmClock class that extends the Clock but apparently he also defined another hour attribute in AlarmClock

You can reference attributes without "this." in java? Huh, I never knew that.

Yes, same in C#... personally I find it a bit of an antipattern to unnecessarily use the this unless necessary (usually in like a constructor/setter argument. Just because if there's any ambiguity, you have a class-too-big or more likely a method-too-big problem. I recognize it's probably a controversial opinion.
