Weirdness - requirement #2 does not verify

Question about the task

Under discussion

Stumped again - so seems fairly straigforward ro create a Factory and return the appropriate objects. Output from main method all looks good. So why does requirement #2 not verify? Help please. Thanks, Phil

1. Create a public MaleFactory class in the male package with a public getPerson method that accepts one int age argument and returns an appropriate object of a class implementing the Human interface.

2. Here's the logic of the getPerson method: use the MAX_AGE constant to determine which class corresponds to the passed age.
For example, age=4 corresponds to a boy (KidBoy), age=15 corresponds to a teenager (TeenBoy), and the other age corresponds to a man.

3. In the Solution class's main method, create a factory and call its getPerson method three times with the following arguments: 99, 4, 15.

Display the result on the console.
The output should be as follows:
Man{} KidBoy{} TeenBoy{}

Well done! The factory is complete! This is the Factory Method pattern.

Requirements:

The screen output must match the task conditions.
In the Solution class's main method, the getPerson method must be called three times on the MaleFactory, using the arguments 99, 4, and 15.
The getPerson method must return a Man object for any age over 19.
The getPerson method must return a TeenBoy object for ages greater than 12, but less than 20.
The getPerson method must return a KidBoy object for any age under 13.

In fact, codeGym made this task difficult. In Solution class. They do not want to explicitly pass the StringtoString () method. You only need to create maleFactory MaleFactory maleFactory = new MaleFactory (); Then, in System.Out.Println, download a given age from the factory. e.g. System.out.println (maleFactory.getPerson (99)) Validation passed

Thanks to Rafał Jagielski, I got this to pass. Definitely some CodeGym test weirdness here. For example, using this

Human human1 = maleFactory.getPerson(99);
System.out.println(human1.toString());

Fails. While this

System.out.println(maleFactory.getPerson(99));

passes.

I can't pass it even with your recommendations... I don't understand CodeGym verification

I could only get it to pass validation by passing the human object straight into println(). Maybe validation is wanting to test casting of the object to String without calling .toString() explicitly.
