MWdym? Do you have a code snippet to show? It depends on the context
�like, I have a hard time understanding what it does, I get the gist of it but I don't know
MWell I asked you to be more specific cus the keyword can be applied differently depending on the context, but I’ll assume you’re referring to the most common usage, which is the new operator
MWell, i don’t really know what else to say, but it’s used alongside a type’s constructor to create a new instance of this type
�oh
�like
�variables
�example: string smth = new string[];
MSomething like
Here the new keyword is being used alongside the default constructor for List<int> to create a new instance of List<int> and to return a reference to it to the variable foo
Here the new keyword is being used alongside the default constructor for List<int> to create a new instance of List<int> and to return a reference to it to the variable foo
�what does it do in the line of code
�liek
�like*
MIt creates the instance of the type, what data the instance will have will depend on what constructor is used
MWhich is usually after the new keyword
�erhhhhhhhh I am stupid
�so it just like, makes it smth that's not the other thing
MAlso it should be string[] smth = new string[insert a number here];
�ik
�I am tired
MSorry
�not ur fault
�My choice to sleep deprive myself over this
MOkay okay, depending on whatever constructor is used after the keyword, it will return an instance of whatever type the constructor belongs to
�uhhh what is the contrustor?
�I forgot
MWhat comes after new, it’s a special function that’s used to initialize instance data
�ohhhhh
�so like
�how much it holds or smth
�?
MThe constructor you use determines what data the instance will hold initially
MSo not how much, but what it holds
�oh
�so like
�think of it as a container?
MThe instance is the container, the constructor determines what’s in the container initially
MAnd the new keyword creates the container
�ok so sorry for wasting your time but
MNah don’t apologize I feel bad I am not explaining better
MI can send documents if they’d help
MOfficial Microsoft ones
�No your explaining fine I just like, have harder time understanding bigger words
�like for a example, you said did The outrageous courageous lion decided to do a malicious deed to capture it's prey.
�I'd probably need to hear it again
�to understand
MOh? I did not say that unless I am missing something
�figuratively
MOh you’re saying I said a lot of stuff that isn’t easy to understand?
�yup
MAh I see
