<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''The Problem'''<br /> <br /> This exercise demonstrates the effect of inheritance/polymorphism through class interactions. Several students will be designated as the Superclasses while others will be designated subclasses of that superclass. Each person designated as the superclass has a set of methods that are inherited by the subclasses. The subclasses then can perform these methods relative to the properties of their class.<br /> This exercise can provide for a humorous way to understand how classes can inherit methods from it's superclass.<br /> <br /> <br /> ''An example is given:''<br /> <br /> -One person is designated as the Mammal class. <br /> <br /> -The mammal class has a walk(), and a talk() method. <br /> <br /> -3 other people are designated as the subclasses: &quot;Cow&quot;, &quot;Person&quot;, &quot;Duck&quot; (or any other mammal with a distinct vocal characteristic).<br /> <br /> -The four people are given class-name tags for clarity.<br /> <br /> -Each of the classmates can then walk up to the subclasses and ask them to perform one of the inherited methods (walk() or talk()). <br /> <br /> -The subclass then performs his/her interpretation of how that mammal talks or walks.<br /> <br /> ''*More Superclass/subclass relationships can be used to allow for more classmate interaction. *''<br /> <br /> '''Participants'''<br /> <br /> -The entire class will be able to participate in this activity. <br /> <br /> -The people designated as the classes will perform the methods that are called by their classmates.</div>
