Anyone else sick of the validator?

Question about the task

Under discussion

First of all, yes I know I added code but that was just to illustrate that the code works like it's supposed to. Here's the output I get: 25 I am a chicken. I come from Africa. I lay 25 eggs a month. 15 I am a chicken. I come from North America. I lay 15 eggs a month. 12 I am a chicken. I come from Europe. I lay 12 eggs a month. 30 I am a chicken. I come from Asia. I lay 30 eggs a month. I have the same problem whether I declare the number of eggs in the method only or if I declare a variable and have the method return the this.variable. Can someone copy and paste the answer please? Over it.

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.AFRICA); hen.getMonthlyEggCount(); System.out.println(hen.getMonthlyEggCount()); System.out.println(hen.getDescription()); Hen hen1 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.NORTHAMERICA); hen.getMonthlyEggCount(); System.out.println(hen1.getMonthlyEggCount()); System.out.println(hen1.getDescription()); Hen hen2 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.EUROPE); hen.getMonthlyEggCount(); System.out.println(hen2.getMonthlyEggCount()); System.out.println(hen2.getDescription()); Hen hen3 = HenFactory.getHen(Continent.ASIA); hen.getMonthlyEggCount(); System.out.println(hen3.getMonthlyEggCount()); System.out.println(hen3.getDescription()); } static class HenFactory { static Hen getHen(String continent) { Hen hen = null; switch (continent) { case Continent.NORTHAMERICA: hen = new NorthAmericanHen(Continent.NORTHAMERICA); break; case Continent.AFRICA: hen = new AfricanHen(Continent.AFRICA); break; case Continent.EUROPE: hen = new EuropeanHen(Continent.EUROPE); break; case Continent.ASIA: hen = new AsianHen(Continent.ASIA); break; default: return null; } return hen; } } }

My guess is, that the not asked extras you coded into the xxxHen classes stop it from validating. Just do as point 6 and 7 state and just code a getMonthlyEggCount and a getDescription in these classes. var continent, constructor and the getter for the continent are to much Cause the Continent interface is in the same package you can use it in the hen classes as you did in Solution.
