Polymorphic Zoo (Java)

A small Java program demonstrating polymorphism and method overloading using a zoo scenario.

Features

• Animal (abstract) in package zoo with:
  • protected String name
  • abstract makeSound()
  • overloaded concrete makeSound(int times) (repeats the polymorphic sound)
  • concrete getName()
• Subclasses: Lion, Elephant, Monkey each override makeSound().
• ZooDemo main:
  • Instantiates animals
  • Stores them in List<Animal>
  • Calls both makeSound() and makeSound(int)

Build & Run

javac -d out $(find src -name "*.java")
java -cp out zoo.ZooDemo
