As an alternative, we can create structure variables using the C# new keyword, which will invoke

the structure’s 

default constructor. By definition, a default constructor takes any input parameters.

The benefit of invoking the default constructor of a structure is that each piece of field data is auto-

matically set to its default value:

// Set all fields to default values

// using the default constructor.
