CS 5JA Introduction to Java
Inheritance
But there is enough basic “functionality” in our prototype to make it useful to define
a kind of basic bird which will contain most of the elements for most of the
birds...
So we’ll define a base class, which is the superclass for all the other birds. It won’t
extend from anything else
public class Bird
{
boolean migrates = false;
boolean canFly = true;
int colorful = false;
String favoriteFood = “worms”;
String typeOfBird;
public Bird(String typeOfBird)
{
this.typeOfBird = typeOfBird;
}
}
