Define a constructor on the Fish class with 3 parameters, in order, named $name, $flavor, and $record.

I have absolutely no idea what the problem is here. What can you guys tell me is wrong with my code?

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish {
  public $common_name;
  public $flavor;
  public $record_weight;
}

  function__construct($name, $flavor, $record){
    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
  }

?>

Hi Moises,

Looking at it I believe is the fact that theres no space between function and __constructor and you didnt put the constructor inside the class.

Try it like this

<?php

class Fish {
  public $common_name;
  public $flavor;
  public $record_weight;


  function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;
  }

}

?>
