[CSI] explicit constructor invocation

[Mikhail Nesterenko]

CSIB students,

A constructor is usually invoked implicitly (without mentioning its
name). However, there is a way in C++ to invoke constructor
explicitly. The effect is to assign an object new values. For example,
for the Date class that we were working on today. The example is
available here:

 http://antares.cs.kent.edu/~mikhail/classes/csi/Examples/Classes/dateConstructors.cpp

  
  Date mydate;

  // some code

  mydate = Date (10,20, 30); // this explicitly invokes a constructor
                              // on object "mydate"
		

Thanks,
