| − | + | Don't look at Animal.java or change anything in it. Just look at TestAnimal.java. | |
| − | + | The instructions are in TestAnimal.java: | |
| + | * You will need a class for each type of animal. You should then be able to compile and run. | ||
| + | * Make a constructor for each animal class, and call setNoise() in the constructor. Cow() should have setNoise("moo"); | ||
| + | * You will need some classes for grouping animals together. For example, Duck and Chicken will extend a grouping class because they use the same methods. | ||
| + | ** Make a diagram of the hierarchy of Animal, the grouping classes, and your farm animals. | ||
| + | ** Create the grouping classes. | ||
| + | ** Fix the classes of each type of animal to extend from the grouping classes. | ||
| + | * Override methods eats(), babyfood(), and coat() from the parent classes as high up in the hierarchy as you can. | ||
