Courses Plus Student 2,865 PointsHi Benneth ;
If you use constructor method for your class, don't use loop statements inside it. Constructor methods are used for initializing objects with some special values (prepare objects with initial values) etc... If you want to get messages from users, you can use another method for this (not constructor method if you want to use this method repeatedly. But in your code example , if entered text (text is also string not integer) parameter is smaller than 140, console.readline method is called repeatedly. If you want to control message length , you can use string length method. If text length more than 140, then another message can be sended to user or whatever if you want... Don't use constructor method parameters for this logical step, because of constructor method is only one time called when you create a new object
