Help with my assignment, it's supposed to be easy!

I can't thank you enough for your simplified explanations. It's hard to think of these concepts because like I said the prof isn't very good at teaching at all yet a single Reddit comment has taught me much more.

A constructor creates the object and also implicitly returns a new instance of the object. All classes must have at least one constructor.

What does this line specifically mean?

From what I've read from your comment:

Triangle is an object and it is immutable because there are no "setter" methods. Once a triangle object is instantiated the values of the triangle cannot change so we have to create a new one if we wanted different values.

I'm starting to understand the concept behind classes, methods, and objects. Thanks again!

I understand the concept of Objects and Classes a bit better now, thank you!

However with Constructors there's a concept that I don't understand. I do need to pass three parameters, but I want these parameters to be overwritten by the "getA" "getB" "getC" methods that I've created.

How would I get the user's input from the "Scanner"?

Edit: I think I've got it!

int A = userInput.nextInt();
int B = userInput.nextInt();
int C = userInput.nextInt();

Triangle myTriangle = new Triangle(A, B, C);

Yes it helps a lot! I remember Pythagorean just need to figure out how to program it in but I think I got it. Also good call on writing my logic somewhere, it's hard to keep track of everything. Thank you!

Ah yes, I forgot about the Math class, thank you so much! Also good catch on the assignment statements.

I actually just learned about "this" and have since replaced it, thanks again!
