Question about the task

Resolved

there inscription: com/codegym/task/task05/task0502/Cat.java:18: error: missing return statement } ^ WHY?! something wrong with only this text: public boolean fight(Cat anotherCat) { //write your code here }

Implement the boolean fight(Cat anotherCat) method:
implement a mechanism for cats to fight based on their weight, age and strength.
You can decide for yourself how a cat's characteristics factor into combat.
The method should determine whether we (this) won the fight, i.e. return true if we won and false if not.

The following condition must be met:
if cat1.fight(cat2) returns true,
then cat2.fight(cat1) must return false

Requirements:

The Cat class must have a constructor with no parameters.
The Cat class must contain public fields age, weight, and strength.
The Cat class must have a fight method.
In the fight method, implement a mechanism for cats to fight based on their weight, age and strength.
The method should return the same value every time we fight the same cat.
If cat1 beats cat2, then cat2 must lose to cat1.

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0502; /* Implement the fight method */ public class Cat { public int age; public int weight; public int strength; public Cat() { } public boolean fight(Cat anotherCat) { //write your code here } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

From the signature of the method you can see that it should return a boolean value. This is also what the error message says (and the comment that suggests to write some code here). To make it compile a return false; should do.
