Who gives a new object its starting values?
Short answer. Its constructor.
Do you call a constructor yourself?
No. It runs automatically when new creates the object.
Remember
| Same name as the class |
| No return type, not even void |
A new object needs starting values. Who gives them? A constructor does. It has the class name and no return type. It runs by itself when new makes an object. Same name as the class. No return type, not even void.
