1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,570
The constructor's the first thing that runs as soon as you create a new object.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:10,530
So it should be the one to update the fields of a newly created object.

3
00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:15,820
In this lesson, you're going to fix your constructor.

4
00:00:19,630 --> 00:00:22,870
Right now, we're calling the Senate to update the cars field, remove it.

5
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:30,290
Because when you create a new object, it's the constructor's job to update every field.

6
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,800
The dealership only has one field, so the constructor needs to receive one parameter.

7
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,990
An array of car objects and instead of a fixed length of three, the field is going to share the same

8
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:48,360
length as the parameter that gets passed in.

9
00:00:56,030 --> 00:01:00,950
All right, so back in Maine, you need to pass in one argument that wage Albino's to call the constructor

10
00:01:00,950 --> 00:01:02,000
with one parameter.

11
00:01:05,550 --> 00:01:08,100
And the argument we're going to pass on is the cars are Ray.

12
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,790
And before testing the code, I'm going to add two more cars to the array being Pastan.

13
00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:26,300
It's going to be a Honda.

14
00:01:32,430 --> 00:01:35,240
Worth 7000 made in 2019.

15
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,230
A color of orange, and it's going to come with the standard tires and filter.

16
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,730
The last car is going to be a Mercedes worth twelve thousand.

17
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:55,820
Made in 2015, color of black.

18
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,330
And it's going to come with tires, filters, and that's put in a transmission.

19
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:08,060
All right.

20
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,910
And feel free to add as many car objects as you'd like, but I'm going to go ahead and print the dealership

21
00:02:12,910 --> 00:02:13,480
object.

22
00:02:45,670 --> 00:02:49,330
All right, there are five spots in the cars field and all of them are empty.

23
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:57,750
This makes sense because so far we're only set the length of the Crisfield, we still have an updated

24
00:02:57,750 --> 00:03:01,860
every element, so every element along the array is going to be no.

25
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:07,720
OK, so the next step is to update every element in the cars filled with an object from the car's parameter.

26
00:03:11,540 --> 00:03:15,020
So create a fault that runs through the length of the car's perimeter.

27
00:03:15,470 --> 00:03:20,000
We can use the fawry shortcut and it creates a far loop that runs through the length of the nearest

28
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,370
array.

29
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,320
And now the cars field and cars parameter share the same length.

30
00:03:24,890 --> 00:03:28,220
So using this for a loop, it can index every element in the car's field.

31
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,980
And at this point, careful not to fall into the reference trap.

32
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,380
Said every element in the cars field equal to a new car object.

33
00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:53,940
In each new car, object is going to copy its values from a source and this source is going to be the

34
00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:56,550
object that we're indexing from the car's parameter.

35
00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:00,480
And that's it, you're ready to run your code.

36
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:14,970
And that's perfect.

37
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,740
There are five spots in the cars field and the constructor sets every element in the cars field equal

38
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:21,750
to an object from the car's parameter.

39
00:04:29,610 --> 00:04:31,410
Why not use a raise a copy of.

40
00:04:33,010 --> 00:04:36,550
You should not use a raised copy of for an array of objects.

41
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,110
A radar copy of Shallow Copy is the reference from every element.

42
00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:55,440
So elements from both arrays are going to share a reference to the same object.

43
00:04:57,230 --> 00:05:01,370
In other words, this would be the same thing as writing this.

44
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Which means would be falling into a trap to.

45
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:11,570
Instead, use a loop that deep copies the object from every element.

46
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:25,670
So be careful, a, that copy of is going to shallow copy the reference of every element.

47
00:05:26,110 --> 00:05:30,100
However, the loop deep copies the object from every element.

48
00:05:33,050 --> 00:05:35,360
In this lesson, you fix the dealership constructor.

49
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:40,610
At first we were using the center to update the newly created dealership object, but when you create

50
00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:44,630
a new object, it's the constructors job to run and update your fields.

51
00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:50,030
In this case, the constructor sets every element in the car's field equal to an object from the car's

52
00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:50,630
parameter.
