I know this is not great practice, but I need a definition in order to get my real question answered.
I have an object like this:
class Car
{
public $wheel;
public $engine;
so on..
}
I instantiate and edit values like thus:
myCar = new Car();
myCar->wheels = 4;
myCar->engine = V8;
What is it called when I do this?:
myCar->brakes = "disc";
It populates the new key and value in the existing object, but I don’t know the name for that.
Update: I removed the parentheses. 🙂
Simply put, you are creating and assigning a new instance variable inside of the
myCarobject.
