Why don't we get an error for "using self before all properties are defined", like we did with currentTime?

We couldn't use our dateStringFromUnixTime function to initialize currentTime at first, because we had to move this to the end of the init() method. This would make sure that all other properties would have values. But now we're using another function, and setting the value of "icon" later than using the dateStringFromUnixTime function to initialize currentTime! How is this possible?

Nevermind! I forgot that we solved this using Optional values for both currentTime and icon.
