Assigning values to an object

[camper2]

Hi, I am supposed to have a constructor that creates a new Triangle object, and assigns coordinates and measurements for the triangle.

Here is what I have:

public Triangle(int xPos, int yPos, int height, int width)
    {
        this();
        Triangle aTriangle = new Triangle();
    }

but when I run the program, and create the object, it asks for the parameters, I specify them, but the parameters stay set to the same numbers. Im kind of confused, thanks.

1) Don't try to construct aTriangle within Triangle's constructor. The constructor itself is already creating a new Triangle object. In other words, get rid of the line:

Triangle aTriangle = new Triangle();

2) you need to set the class's fields to the parameter values within the constructor. For instance:

public class Fubar2
{
  private int value;
  
  public Fubar2(int value)
  {
    this.value = value;
  }
}

Triangle is clearly not doing anything with the parameters it takes in. That's why it does nothing. You should have something more like

this.xPos = xPos;
this.yPos = yPos;
this.height = height;
this.width = width;

you beat me, i'm too slow...

ah that worked, thanks again that really helped, and it let me see what I was doing wrong.
