Console Class Constructors

This document discusses adding constructors to a Die class. It explains that constructors are used to create new objects of a class and pass information into the class. The Die class represents a die with properties for the number of sides and side currently on top, and a behavior to roll the die. Constructors can be used to create standard 6-sided dice or dice with any number of sides by passing parameters into the constructor header and call.

implemented the fields and properties in the
class
This time, well add our constructors to the class




State, Behavior, and Identity

So we can distinguish one
object from another
Memory address
