Designated Initializers for Structs
Designated initializers allow you to initialize specific members of a struct by name, regardless of their order in the definition. Any members not explicitly initialized are set to zero.

2
.ratio = 0.75f
Sets the 'ratio' field, skipping 'mode' which defaults to 0.
