✅ Don't quite understand the `required` keyword

although i marked the member as required, i defined a default value in case if it's not in the object initializer. does the keyword not work this way?

Makes the property required Unconditionally If you're fine with a default value, make it not required (also, make it a property)

cheeze2000OP•9mo ago

by property, you mean the get set stuff?

Angius•9mo ago

Yes The general rule of thumb is "if it's public, it should be a property"

oh i see then what should i be using members?

Fields are usually private If that's what you mean by "member" $structure
