Module 5 - Baseball Team Lab

 Objective

The goal of this assignment is to understand the concept of inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). You will create a class hierarchy to represent different roles within a baseball team, demonstrating how inheritance can be used to manage these roles.

Requirements:

1. Base Class - TeamMember: Create a base class named TeamMember with the following features:

   • Private instance variables for name (String) and jerseyNumber (int).

   • A constructor that initializes name and jerseyNumber.

   • An override the method toString() that prints the name and jersey number of the team member.

2. Subclass - Player: Create a subclass named Player that inherits from TeamMember:

   • Add an additional private instance variable for position (String).

   • A constructor that initializes name, jerseyNumber, and position.

   • Override the toString() method to also display the player's position.

   • Override the equals() method to compare players.

3. Subclass - Coach: Create another subclass named Coach that also inherits from TeamMember:

   • Add an additional private instance variable for role (String - head coach, assistant coach etc.).

   • A constructor that initializes name, jerseyNumber, and role.

   • Override the tostring() method to display the coach's role.

   • Override the equals() method to compare coaches.

4. Main Method: In your main method, perform the following tasks:

   • Create an instance of Player and call its toString() method.

   • Create an instance of Coach and call its toString() method.
