In Julia, you can create an object using the default constructor, which accepts a list of positional arguments for each of the fields defined for the struct. For small objects, this should be simple and straightforward. For larger objects, it becomes confusing because it is hard to remember which argument corresponds to which field without referring to the struct's definition every time we write code to create such objects.

He found that most people can only remember five to nine digits ...
