Ques 62. How would you declare and use a constructor in Ruby?
Constructors are declared via the initialize method and get called when you call on a new object to be created.
Using the code snippet below, calling Order.new acts as a constructor for an object of the class Order.
class Order
def initialize(customer, meal, beverage)
@customer = customer
@meal = meal
@beverage = beverage
end
end
