Hello experts,

I created a default constructor with the following instance fields
make: GM
model: Pontiac
cost: 20000

I just wanna know if I did it right?

class Automobile
{
	public Automobile()
	{
		make = GM;
		model = Pontiac;
		cost = 20000;
	}
}

Well, I don't see any variable declarations or types so I'm assuming that if the types match then sure.

What you mean by "types"?

She means that you don't have any variables in your class. Right now, as your class is, it will generate compiler errors saying it cannot find variables make, model, cost, GM, Pontiac.

(GM and Pontiac should probably both be in quotes, since they're Strings)

You need something like this...

class Automobile
{
    // these are the variables of the class.  Each object will
    // have a unique set of these.
    String make, model;
    double cost;

    public Automobile()
    {
        make = "GM";
        model = "Pontiac";
        cost = 20000;
    }
}

        model = "Pontiac";
        cost = 20000;
    }
}

It's not meant to be compiled. It's just a project that shows that I'm familiar with the default constructor that initializes instance fields.
I appreciate the explanation.

Oh, well then yeah. Looks good to me as long as you have the right types/variables.
