4.5 Static and toString — same dog?

Total: 0 / 3 pts

Practice mode — check each part and get hints as you go.

Task

Fill in sameName so that it returns whether two dogs carry the same name.

The program prints false and then true: the two dogs are different objects (so == is false), but their names match.

Your solution

class Dog {
    String name;

    Dog(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
}

public class Main {

    public static boolean sameName(Dog a, Dog b) {
        // true when the two dogs have the same name

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Dog d1 = new Dog("Rex");
        Dog d2 = new Dog("Rex");
        System.out.println(d1 == d2);
        System.out.println(sameName(d1, d2));
    }
}
