Challenge 2: Implement an Animal Class

Implement an animal class and its subclasses from scratch.

Problem statement

The code below has:

  • A parent class named Animal.

    • Inside it, define:
      • name
      • sound
      • __init__()
      • Animal_details() function
        • It prints the name and sound of the Animal.
  • Then there are two derived classes*

    • Dog class
      • Has a property family
      • Has an initializer that calls the parent class initializer in it through super()
      • Has an overridden method named Animal_details() which prints detail of the dog.
    • Sheep class
      • Has a property color
      • Has an initializer that calls the parent class initializer in it through super()
      • Has an overridden method named Animal_details(), which prints detail of the sheep
  • The derived classes should override the Animal_details() method defined in the Animal class.

    • The overridden method in Dog class should print the value of family as well as the name and sound.
    • The overridden method in Sheep class should print the value of color as well as the name and sound

Input

  • name of Dog is set to Pongo, sound is set to Woof Woof, and family is set to Carnivore in the initializer of Dog object.

  • name of Sheep is set to Billy, sound is set to Baaa Baaa, and color is set to White in the initializer of Sheep object.

  • Now, call Animal_details() from their respective objects.

Sample input

d = Dog("Pongo", "Woof Woof", "Husky")
d.Animal_details()
print(" ")
s = Sheep("Billy", "Baaa Baaa", "White")
s.Animal_details()

Sample output

Name: Pongo
Sound: Woof Woof
Family: Husky

Name: Billy
Sound: Baa Baa
Color: White
