Chicken factory
Let's create an international chicken factory. We'll fill it with chickens from all over the world. Create a list that indicates each hen's nationality and we'll track how many eggs they lay each month. How do you do that? Using abstract classes and inheritance, of course.

For me it was easy, but im doing it on my phone, so i have hints. It took 2 attempts tho bcuz i accidentally mixed the Continent and String types

Good task. though i failed it many times because of lack of space: "I come from continent." instead of : " I come from continent." feel annoyed

Great task. I failed the first attempted because I wrote "I lay n eggs per month" vs. "I lay n eggs a month".

why switch method introduced in Java 14 is not accepted in the solution?

I had same issue and switched (no pun intended) to the if-else to get it accepted. It ran fine with switch statement in IntelliJ. Heck, IntelliJ even suggested to change my if-else into switch.

Great task, although watch out, the verification even checks the return string. Spot the difference... "I am a chicken" "I am a chicken."

the task seemed easy for me. The place where i had to give up on it is i never thought about using the switch statement instead made different variables hen, hen2, hen3 & hen4 and then assigned them different hentypes. Is there a way by which we can solve it not using the switch statements.

Finnaly finished this taks but im confused why it works to just call the getMonthlyEggCount() by typing just that in the getDescription even if its not static?

I wondered about that too and after doing some searching, found that if there's no access modifier, the method is default, which is Package-Private, meaning it is accessible within the same package, so you can call it just by the method name.

Tough task due to complexity and text issues. Really nice! Didn't understand why the continents were in an interface though .... (?)
