This code creates a new Tower object and assigns it to a new variable named tower. This might look confusing now but eventually reading/writing statements like this becomes second-nature.

Here is a breakdown of the statement:

Tower       // the new variable's Type
tower       // the new variable's Name
=           // the assignment operator
new Tower() // the instantiation (creation) of a new Tower object
;           // the end of the statement
