Constructor [Parameter List]


Parameters

Parameter List (Optional)

Notes

When you create a new object, you will sometimes want to perform some sort of initialization on the object. The constructor is a mechanism for doing this. A class's constructor is the method that will be executed automatically when an instance of the class is created.

You write a constructor for a custom class by creating a new method for the class and naming it "Constructor". See the chapter on custom classes in the Users Guide for more information on writing constructors.
