Welcome,

please take a look at [PSA: how to quote code with backticks](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-how-to-quote-code-with-backticks/7530).

Regarding your problem, [Constructors · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/constructors/index.html) is likely good reading.

You could do for example:

```julia
julia> struct Point{T}
           r::T
           theta::T
           phi::T
           x::T
       end

julia> Point(r, theta, phi) = Point(r, theta, phi, r * sin(theta) * cos(phi))
Point

julia> Point(2.0, 0.3, 0.5)
Point{Float64}(2.0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.5186867601044616)

```
