Practicing Constructors

The following program has two structs, one of them is called Point which defines some coordinate as it has an x and a y attribute / field. The other struct is called Triangle and it is made up of 3 point objects. In the constructor we pass three point objects to correctly initialize a triangle.

Fill in the blanks to complete the constructors of both the structs.

It will also be a good code reading exercise to read the whole code and try to understand it, however it is not necessary to solve this task.

Everything was clear?
