They do this so you have to do more than just follow along, If you are wanting to get into this field professionally. It's a great exercise. Although I do wish they elaborated this a little more!

Define a constructor method on the Fish class with 3 parameters, in order, named $name, $flavor, and $record.

<?php

class Fish { public $common_name; public $flavor ; public $record_weight; } function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){ } ?>

I guess what I meant to say is that they should have better hints. ( Bummer! Did you create a constructor (__construct)? )

Here is the answer if you want it :

<?php

class Fish { public $common_name = ""; public $flavor = ""; public $record_weight = "";

function __construct($name, $flavor, $record) {

}

}

?>

I recommend googling questions and using stackoverflow as resources
