https://codegym.cc/quests/lectures/questsyntax.level05.lecture05 Implement the fight method Dont understand whats wrong in the below code.

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) {

        if (this.age < anotherCat.age && this.strength > anotherCat.strength &&
                this.weight > anotherCat.weight) return true;
        else return false;

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Cat cat1 = new Cat();
        Cat cat2 = new Cat();

        cat1.weight = 15;
        cat1.age = 4;
        cat1.strength = 30;

        cat2.weight = 12;
        cat2.age = 5;
        cat2.strength = 24;

        System.out.println(cat1.fight(cat2));
        System.out.println(cat2.fight(cat1));

    }
}

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) { if (this.age < anotherCat.age && this.strength > anotherCat.strength && this.weight > anotherCat.weight) return true; else return false; } public static void main(String[] args) { Cat cat1 = new Cat(); Cat cat2 = new Cat(); cat1.weight = 15; cat1.age = 4; cat1.strength = 30; cat2.weight = 12; cat2.age = 5; cat2.strength = 24; System.out.println(cat1.fight(cat2)); System.out.println(cat2.fight(cat1)); } }

re-check the if statement, the first cat should beat or not beat the other cat in all aspects

this.age < anotherCat.age should be this.age > anotherCat.age Hope it works.

Try to run this code in the main method:

Cat cat1 = new Cat();
Cat cat2 = new Cat();

cat1.weight = 15;
cat1.age = 4;
cat1.strength = 30;

cat2.weight = 15;
cat2.age = 4;
cat2.strength = 30;

System.out.println(cat1.fight(cat2));
System.out.println(cat2.fight(cat1));
