Question about the task

Chicken factory

Java Core, Level 4, Lesson 6

Resolved

Only condition no.1 and no.4 is satisfied

Write a factory (HenFactory) for making chickens (Hen):

1. Write a Hen class.
1.1. Make it abstract.
1.2. Add an int getMonthlyEggCount() method to the abstract class.
1.3. Add a String getDescription() method to the class. It should return "I am a chicken."
2. Create an NorthAmericanHen class that inherits Hen.
3. Create an EuropeanHen class that inherits Hen.
4. Create an AsianHen class that inherits Hen.
5. Create an AfricanHen class that inherits Hen.
6. In each of these four classes, write your own implementation of the getMonthlyEggCount method.
The method should return the number of eggs per month produced by that type of chicken.
7. In each of these four classes, write your own implementation of the getDescription method.

The method must return a string as follows:
<parent class>.getDescription() + " I come from <continent>. I lay <n> eggs a month."
where <continent> is the name of the continent
and <n> is the number of eggs per month.

8. In the HenFactory class, implement the getHen method. It should return a chicken breed corresponding to the continent that the chicken came from.
9. All the classes you create must be in separate files.

Requirements:

The Hen class must be abstract.
The Hen class must have an abstract int getMonthlyEggCount() method.
The Hen class must implement a String getDescription() method, which returns "I am a chicken."
The NorthAmericanHen, EuropeanHen, AsianHen, and AfricanHen classes must inherit the Hen class and be located in separate files.
The NorthAmericanHen, EuropeanHen, AsianHen, and AfricanHen classes must implement the getMonthlyEggCount method, which should return the number of eggs per month laid by the corresponding type of chicken.
The NorthAmericanHen, EuropeanHen, AsianHen, and AfricanHen must override the parent class's getDescription method so that the returned string looks like this: <parent class>.getDescription() + " I come from <continent>. I lay <n> eggs a month." where <continent> is the name of the continent, and <n> is the number of eggs per month.
The getHen method must be implemented in the HenFactory class and must return the chicken type that corresponds to the passed continent.

package com.codegym.task.task14.task1408; /* Chicken factory */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Hen hen = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.EUROPE); Hen hen1 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.AFRICA); Hen hen2 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.ASIA); Hen hen3 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.NORTHAMERICA); System.out.println(hen.getDescription()); System.out.println(hen1.getDescription()); System.out.println(hen2.getDescription()); System.out.println(hen3.getDescription()); } static class HenFactory { static Hen getHen(String continent) { Hen hen = null; if(continent.equalsIgnoreCase("Europe")) { hen = new EuropeanHen(); } else if(continent.equalsIgnoreCase("Africa")) { hen = new AfricanHen(); } else if(continent.equalsIgnoreCase("Asia")) { hen = new AsianHen(); } else if(continent.equalsIgnoreCase("NorthAmerica")) { hen = new NorthAmericanHen(); } return hen; } } }

solution

it's getMonthlyEggCount not getMonthlyHenCount. You also can try to make the two methods in the Hen class public. Within the getHen method I'm not sure if the validation is nagging on your hardcoded continent names and requires you to use the Continent interface like...

if (continent.equals(Continent.AFRICA))
    hen = new AfricanHen();

switch (continent) {
    case Continent.AFRICA:
        hen = new AfricanHen();
        break;
    case Continent.ASIA:

Just try and see what happens...

Thank you! It was mistake with method name as you said and other was, output text had some space errors.
