1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:03,510
The constructor runs as soon as you create your object.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:10,380
We created a new object of the dealership class, the field is an array of car objects, as always,

3
00:00:10,380 --> 00:00:15,690
every field starts off as zero or null, and it's the constructors job to update every field as soon

4
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:17,100
as we create the object.

5
00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:24,810
So in this lesson, you're going to add a constructor to your dealership class.

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,650
So we can, at a dealership, instruct you in your dealership class, as always, it's going to be public,

7
00:00:32,290 --> 00:00:34,360
it's going to share the same name as the class.

8
00:00:36,790 --> 00:00:38,740
And for now, I'm not going to add parameters.

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,720
I know what you're thinking, we should be passing in a parameter, but I don't want to do that until

10
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,260
you're more comfortable working with an array of objects.

11
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:49,930
So for the time being, the constructor is going to remain incomplete.

12
00:00:52,870 --> 00:00:57,640
All I want for now is for the cars failed to start off with a room for three elements and they're all

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,370
going to be empty.

14
00:00:59,350 --> 00:01:01,810
Think of each element in the area as a parking space.

15
00:01:04,489 --> 00:01:07,970
One by one, we're going to add car objects to each parking space.

16
00:01:18,070 --> 00:01:20,170
So in the constructor, we can set the field.

17
00:01:24,190 --> 00:01:27,400
Equal to a new car array with the size of three.

18
00:01:28,420 --> 00:01:33,250
The requirements don't mention how many cars the dealership can hold until you're free to make the array

19
00:01:33,250 --> 00:01:34,150
as big as you want.

20
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:35,590
For now, I'm choosing three.

21
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:43,670
And since the field is private and we don't have any getters, print the contents inside the constructor

22
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:45,770
print line erase.

23
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:54,920
To string.

24
00:01:58,420 --> 00:01:59,560
This Dakar's.

25
00:02:02,090 --> 00:02:02,870
And that's all.

26
00:02:23,210 --> 00:02:26,750
When you're on the code, the first line creates an object of the dealership class.

27
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:34,880
Your brackets have no arguments, so Java runs the constructor with no parameters, the constructor

28
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:41,060
set your field equal to enumerate with the size of three and the array cars has three open spots that

29
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:42,140
we can put Khazen.

30
00:02:48,990 --> 00:02:50,610
So remove the print statement.

31
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:54,360
You should only ever have field updates in a constructor.

32
00:02:56,020 --> 00:02:56,650
And that's all.

33
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:01,910
In this lesson, you added a constructor.

34
00:03:04,380 --> 00:03:06,330
First, you credit a dealership object.

35
00:03:08,260 --> 00:03:12,400
Your brackets have no arguments, so Java runs the constructor with no parameters.

36
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,600
The constructor set your field equal to a new era with a size of three, and now the array has three

37
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,630
open spots that we can add cars to, but we don't have a way of accessing or updating the fields from

38
00:03:26,630 --> 00:03:27,180
outside.

39
00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:30,170
So the next step is data getter and a setter.
