205: Mainline

In Chapter 9, you saw how to create an instance in one statement and to initialize that instance's instance variables in others. The following illustrates instance creation and initialization for a Movie variable, m:

Movie m = new Movie(); 
m.script = 8; m.acting = 9; m.direction = 6; 

As the new Movie instance is created, zeros are assigned to all the arithmetic instance variables. Then, three statements reassign those instance variables.
