✅ Positional record with alternate constructor
Say we have this record:
And we wanna provide a way for it to be initialized from doubles too:
But the compiler complains "A constructor declared in 'record' with parameter list must have 'this' constructor"
It wants me to do something like this:
This doesn't feel right to me, seems like I'm going against the language and doesn't look like idiomatic C#. Because we're setting the fields then setting them again. But I don't see why this can't work, it should be possible to specify a constructor with some other parameters than the primary constructor, assuming all the fields get initialized. I'm looking for ways to achieve this result with idiomatic C# that isn't a lot of code, like removing the positional parameters and writing those properties manually. Thank you.
