    different between constructors in bold
    Different args list.
    this is a reference to the current class object when executing code in a class.

    See the tutorial: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutori...O/thiskey.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Hello

    1. This class constructor has been overloaded to take different parameters .
    2. The methods are called the minute this classes own constructor is called
    3. The created set method takes 3 parameters and the output will be different depending on the parameters passed to it, by definition of the code inside the actual set method.

    I hope this helps.
