Hmm.. one of my classes is having error with "field is never assigned to and will always have its default value 0" for "m_street""m_zipCode" "m_city" and "m_country;".
I think someone told me to initialize a variable, but I am not sure how to do it.
I tried this, but it didn't work:

private Address m_street = new Address();

using System.Threading.Tasks;

    {
        //declaring variables
        private string m_street;
        private string m_zipCode;
        private string m_city;
