I never herd the answer to this question

The process of preparing our classes for use is called ______________.

What is the answer to this question? I never heard it in the video.

Initialization is the process of preparing an instance of a class, structure, or enumeration for use. This process involves setting an initial value for each stored property on that instance and performing any other setup or initialization that is required before the new instance is ready for use. - Apple Docs

Hint: Remember what the 'init' method is used for.

You couldn't figure it out from my hint? I could have just wrote "initialization", but I thought it would help you more if I didn't simply post the answer outright.
