The term used for creating a new instance of a struct
, class
or any other reusable type is initialization.
Hope that helps.

2,760 PointsYeah it's "initialization" I really think Treehouse needs to program in some ambiguity with the write in answers. I wrote "initializing" and was wrong.

Dominic Bryan
