7.2 Overriding — override toString in Fish

Total: 0 / 3 pts

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

Task

Write Fish extends Animal that overrides toString() so it returns "Fish: " followed by the name.

main prints the object itself, so Java calls your toString automatically. The program prints Fish: Nemo.

Your solution

class Animal {
    private String name;

    public Animal(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public String describe() {
        return name + " is an animal";
    }
}

class Fish extends Animal {
    // constructor with super, then override toString()

}

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Fish f = new Fish("Nemo");
        System.out.println(f);
    }
}
