simple question

[agater]

hey guys "

this is a part of a big qusion .( The class circle has a three-argument constructor that sets the values of x, y, and radius to given values. )

what did they mean by " to given values. "

I answered like this:

public Circle(int x, int y, int radius)
{
X = ax;

Y = ay;

Radius = aRadius;

}

what did they mean by " to given values. "

I would assume that they mean the values that are "given" in the call to the constructor: new Circle(12, 12, 12);
Here 12 would be the given values.
That would be instead of the program having hardcoded values set by the programmer that it used.

x, and y define the point of the circle center and the radius the size of the circle.

[Norm]

Yes, that makes sense. The question is: How are those three variables given values?
Are they given by the user of the class
or are they set by the programmer?

[xlomo]

yes, right, well in that case shouldn't he write X=x instead of X = ax ?

[Fubarable]

To follow Java naming conventions the class fields should begin with lower case letters. So...

class Foo {
   int x;

   public Foo(int x) {
      this.x = x;
   }
}
