Hello Nilesh,

So could you illustrate a bit the __construct() function, please?
Should I pass those variables as parameters of that function? And what
if I need to change their values?)
Thanks!

The advantages of initializing the variables in __construct() is that 
whenever an object of the class is created, the variables have the 
values you expect.

If you don't put them in __construct(), you will have to create another 
method which will have to be called after you have created the object 
using the new operator.

Ultimately its the same thing, __construct() is called automatically, 
only that's the difference.
