Java Interface exercise Animal Lovers

Question

Hi,

I am doing the Java interface exercise Animal Lovers. When I execute the code it gets no input and of course no output. Looking a the main method, I am thinking it should have executed since I did override the the methods, but I guess I am wrong

This is what I have
```
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal dog = new Dog();
Animal cat = new Cat();

dog.swim();
dog.play();
cat.swim();
cat.play();

}
}

interface Swimmer {
void swim();
}

interface Player {
void play();
}

//implement the Swimmer and the Player interfaces
abstract class Animal implements Swimmer,Player{
public abstract void play();
public abstract void swim();
}

class Dog extends Animal {
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
public void swim(){
System.out.println("Dog is swimming");
}

public void play(){
System.out.println("Dog is playing");
}

}

class Cat extends Animal{
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
public void swim(){
System.out.println("Cat is swimming");
}

public void play(){
System.out.println("Cat is playing");
}

}
}
```

Where am i going wrong with this.

Answer 1

It's working..

edit: try make main() public.

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal dog = new Dog();
Animal cat = new Cat();

dog.swim();
dog.play();
cat.swim();
cat.play();
}
}

interface Swimmer {
void swim();
}

interface Player {
void play();
}

//implement the Swimmer and the Player interfaces
abstract class Animal implements Swimmer,Player{
public abstract void play();
public abstract void swim();
}

class Dog extends Animal {
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
public void swim(){
System.out.println("Dog is swimming");
}

public void play(){
System.out.println("Dog is playing");
}
}

class Cat extends Animal{
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
public void swim(){
System.out.println("Cat is swimming");
}

public void play(){
System.out.println("Cat is playing");
}
}
//}

Answer 4

I experimented and now this code works:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal dog = new Dog();
Animal cat = new Cat();

dog.swim();
dog.play();
cat.swim();
cat.play();

}
}

interface Swimmer {
public void swim();
}

interface Player {
public void play();
}

//implement the Swimmer and the Player interfaces
abstract class Animal implements Swimmer, Player {
abstract String getName();
public abstract void swim();
public abstract void play();
public String name;
}

class Dog extends Animal {
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
String getName() {
return name = "dog";
}
public void swim() {
System.out.println("Dog is swimming");
}
public void play() {
System.out.println("Dog is playing");
}
}

class Cat extends Animal {
//Override the swim() and the play() methods
String getName() {
return name = "cat";
}
public void swim() {
System.out.println("Cat is swimming");
}
public void play() {
System.out.println("Cat is playing");
}
}
