Setting the metal and givenTo fields with the values of the arguments is obvious. The metal field will never be able to be set again for this instance, because it is final. But the subtle thing is that the class variable numberForged, which started at zero, is now increased by one every time this constructor is called, which means for every ring instance created. We are counting the number of rings created! | Setting the metal and givenTo fields with the values of the arguments is obvious.
