Module 5 - Animal Lab

 Objective

The goal of this assignment is to help you understand the concept of inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming. You will create a simple class hierarchy that demonstrates how inheritance works.

Requirements:

1. Create a base class called Animal with the following features:

   • A private instance variable name of type String.

   • A constructor that takes a String argument to initialize name.

   • A method makeSound() that prints a generic sound like "Some generic animal sound".

   • A method getName() that returns the name of the animal.

2. Create a subclass called Dog that inherits from Animal:

   • Override the makeSound() method to print "Woof Woof".

   • Override the toString()

   • Override the hashCode()

   • Override the equals()

3. Create another subclass called Cat that also inherits from Animal:

   • Override the makeSound() method to print "Meow Meow".

   • Override the toString()

   • Override the hashCode()

   • Override the equals()

4. In your main method, do the following:

   • Create 2 instances of Dog;

     • Output hash code of each

     • Using the equals method, check to see if the objects are identical

   • Create 2 instances of Cat;

     • Output hash code of each

     • Using the equals method, check to see if the objects are identical

   • Create an ArrayList (create 2 ArrayLists) of Dog and Cat objects and populate with the Dog and Cat objects you created ealier. Loop through the ArrayLists and output each animal's name, and sound using the toString() method.
