Module 5 - Java Zoo

🎯 Objective

To understand and implement Java inheritance by creating a class hierarchy for animals in a zoo.

Part 1: Base Class Creation

• Task: Create a base class Animal.

  • Include common attributes (e.g., name, age).

  • Implement methods like eat(), sleep().

Part 2: Creating Subclasses

• Task: Create at least three subclasses of Animal (e.g., Lion, Elephant, Monkey).

  • Each subclass should have unique attributes or behaviors - this is your choice, you must include at least one.

  • Demonstrate the use of super to access superclass methods and constructors.

Part 4: Overriding Methods

• Task: Override methods in the subclasses.

  • Example: Overriding the eat() method to reflect each animal's specific diet.

Part 5: Implementing a displayInfo() Method

• Task: Implement a displayInfo() method in each class to print details about each animal.

Part 6: Main Class and Testing

• Task: Create a ZooTest class to instantiate different animals and call their methods.

  • Demonstrate polymorphism by storing different animals in an Animal ArrayList and iterating through it to call displayInfo().
