User-defined functions and the this keyword

- [Instructor] Now that we've created our class blueprint,…we are going to create a constructor.…And in turn, start building some instances.…To build these cars, we need something to construct them.…In Java, that's our constructor method.…So, we are going to go below these variables that we created,…these properties, and we're going to write…public Car, cause that's what we want to create,…int inputAverageMPG,…String inputLicensePlate.…And these are all of our inputs…that we want to initialize our car with.…

And so these are going to be passed through…when we construct an object.…This will all make sense in a minute.…But keeping with this, we'll go Color inputPaintColor,…and then boolean inputAreTaillightsWorking.…And then we'll hit Enter here…so it's a little bit easier to see.…So here, Car is the name of the function…and will be what we create…once the function has finished executing.…

Our inputs to the function are int inputAverageMPG,…a String inputLicensePlate, Color inputPaintColor,…and boolean inputAreTheTaillightsWorking.…
