Passing Arguments to a Constructor

You can define a constructor in a class that takes one or more arguments.  Typically, these represent data to be used in initializing the new object.
Here’s an example of a constructor for the Dog class that accepts the dog’s name and age and then assigns those values to the corresponding properties.

public string Name { get; set; }
public int Age { get; set; }
 
// Constructor that takes dog's name and age
public Dog(string name, int age)
{
    Name = name;
    Age = age;
}
Having this constructor, we can instantiate a new Dog instance as follows:

Dog kirby = new Dog("Kirby", 14);
