Dog

The topic of Classes is an extensive one. Therefore we created a few exercises for you. Let’s start with an easy one. You should find all help in the slides. You saw how to create a Cat class. So let’s create a Dog class.

Here’s what it should do when it’s all finished:

  1. Create a class named Dog.

  2. Initialize it with the three arguments: name, number_of_dog_friends, favourite_food.

  3. Test your code by create a new Dog called Sniff, with number of dog friends 5 and favourite food "bacon".

  4. Now we want to enable some behaviour and actions. That means we need to write some methods. Let’s first write a method bark. After calling this method the dog should bark. Call the method on Sniff and let him bark to test it.

  5. We want to give the dog a toy. Make a method give_a_toy and store the toys in an array. Give Sniff three different toys.

  6. Create a method information which will output following string: ‘The dog Sniff has 5 dog friends and 3 toys. His favourite food is bacon.’

Congrats, you made it! ;o)
