The constructor allows for an answer to be set to the private field upon creating a new instance of Game. Since the logic of the game depends on there being an answer to guess at, it is less hassle to set the answer directly upon instantiating (creating) an object of Game than first instantiating an object and then setting the answer of that object. Makes sense?
