using System;
class Rectangle {
   public int Width;
   public int Height;
   public Rectangle(int w = 5, int h = 6){
     this.Width = w;
     this.Height = h;
   }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
        Console.WriteLine(r.Width);
        Console.WriteLine(r.Height);
    }
}

using System;
class Rectangle {
   public int Width;
   public int Height;
   public Rectangle(int Width, int Height){
     this.Width = Width;
     this.Height = Height;
   }
}

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Rectangle r = new Rectangle(2,3);
        Console.WriteLine(r.Width);
        Console.WriteLine(r.Height);
    }
