Create a Fish object named $bass with the following data: name: "Largemouth Bass" flavor: "Excellent"

This question is vague, does anybody know what they are asking?

fish.php 
<?php

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

  function Fish($name, $flavor, $record){


    $this->common_name = $name;
    $this->flavor = $flavor;
    $this->record_weight = $record;

  }

   $bass = new fish(
     $common_name = "Largemouth Bass";
     $flavor = "Excellent";
     $record_weight = "22 pounds 5 ounces";

   );

}



?>

Hi Steve! In that particular challenge you are supposed to use the constructor you just created to create a new instance of Fish. In this case the correct answer would be:

$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");

Since in the constructor you defined 3 parameter being name, flavor and record(weight).

Thanks very much Julian. Sorry about the delay in my response, I was busy doing a CSS track.
