How do I initialize a contract with only a specific amount of wei?
==================================================================
Currently the approach is a little ugly, but there is little that can be done to improve it.
In the case of a ``contract A`` calling a new instance of ``contract B``, parentheses have to be used around
``new B`` because ``B.value`` would refer to a member of ``B`` called ``value``.
You will need to make sure that you have both contracts aware of each other's presence and that ``contract B`` has a ``payable`` constructor.
In this example::
pragma solidity ^0.5.0;
contract B {
constructor() public payable {}
}
contract A {
B child;
function test() public {
child = (new B).value(10)(); //construct a new B with 10 wei
}
}
