The advantages of initializing the variables in __construct() is that
whenever an object of the class is created, the variables have the
values you expect.

If you don't put them in __construct(), you will have to create another
method which will have to be called after you have created the object
using the new operator.

Ultimately its the same thing, __construct() is called automatically,
only that's the difference.
