This code defines a constructor for a class named IDisk. A constructor is a special member function of a class that initializes objects of that class. Here's what the code does step by step:

1. Initialization List (: nb_sides_(1)):

   • The member variable nb_sides_ is initialized to the value 1 before the body of the constructor executes. This is an example of a member initializer list.

2. Setting Default Values in the Constructor Body:

   • Inside the body of the constructor, several member variables (assumed to be part of the IDisk class) are initialized:
     • load_progress_ is set to -1 to indicate "no progress" by default.
     • log_ is set to nullptr, likely meaning no logging system or pointer is assigned.
     • fixed_speed_ is set to false, perhaps indicating that the disk doesn't have a fixed speed by default.
     • head_position_ is set to 0, which might represent the initial position of the disk's read/write head.
     • disk_modified_ is set to true, possibly to indicate that the disk's state has recently changed or been modified.

Overall, this constructor initializes the attributes of an IDisk object with default or initial values, setting up the object for use.
