Hi Allen, thank you so much for the reply.
If I do it that way, someVar will now be a private variable. What if
I wanted someVar to be an instance variable. so that it may be
accessed externally:
aWorker.someVar
hence why I did:
this.someVar = 'var';
Is this something that you have to give up when going with this
pattern?
