Instructions:
Inside of main, use the Dog constructor to create a Dog object and assign it to the variable spike.

so your code should like

public static void main(String[] args) {
    
Dog spike=new Dog(13);

	}

What does the “new” represent? An addition of a new instance/object of a class? A new variable?

[angusbeef]

Dog spike = new Dog(13);

In this case new simply means create a new object of the Dog class and assign it to the reference variable of type Dog.
The new keyword will make a new object irrespective of whether one of the same type already exists. If the variable it is being assigned to already exists, it will “overwrite” it and create a new object to fit inside of it.

Hope that makes sense.
