AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Constructor property promotion (PHP 8) lets you declare and assign typed properties directly in the constructor signature, reducing boilerplate. Default property values can be set at declaration time.

Static properties belong to the class itself rather than any instance and are accessed with ClassName::$property.
