Here is part of the constructor for the Dept class. It takes values from the parameters to the constructor and uses them to set the values of the data members of the class. Once this instance has been created, it is available for adding employees and performing other behaviors of the class.

Notice that we used the this-object: prefix to allow the editor to help us select the ExpenseCode data member name.

constructor public Dept (  input pDeptName as character, input pMaxNumEmployees as integer, input pExpenseCode as character ):
  super (). 
  assign DeptName = pDeptName /* add code here to size the array using  pMaxNumEmployees */ 
  this-object:ExpenseCode = pExpenseCode. 
end constructor.
