Hello Ning, 1 and 2 is the syntax for Constructor declaration. Whenever you require an object of NumWords you will write something like this
NumWords myWord = new NumWords(); *This highlighted code refers the constructor and sets the initial values for object myWord according to what you will have in 2.* 3 is syntax for declaration of main method. Just to give you an idea the application starts from main method. Consider it as entry point.
