Pets need people

"You become responsible forever for what you've tamed," said Antoine de Saint-Exupery through the mouth of the Little Prince's fox friend. Let's clean up our program and not leave any animal without a caregiver. We'll create a cat, a dog, and a fish. And a woman. And then we'll assign her as the owner of the fish, dog, and cat. We think she'll like this!

It was pretty easy for me! I just remembered previous lessons. It's exactly what they taught. 😁

completed it by trial and error and the hints in the comments. I feel that I am missing some base knowledge in my mental model of variable declaration/initialization/connection. Otherwise it would have been apparent. It is possible it is knowledge gained through repetition. Which I hope it is otherwise will be a weakness in the future. :(

Okay, I got it. It took me a couples of tries, but when I figured it out, it's actually pretty simple. Hint: You can name each animal object whatever you want AS LONG AS the "Woman" object is listed FIRST 😉👍 Example: Cat fuzzy = new Cat(); fuzzy.owner = ownername; OR Cat.whiskers = new Cat(); whiskers.owner = ownername; See the pattern? 😉👌 Hint 2: Woman object only needs a name. Example: Woman beth = new Woman(); OR Woman sarah = new Woman();

I wish there was a way to block the pop ups after verification.

1) create a new Woman, save with a variable name, her name 2) create a new Cat, save with the cat's name 3) catname.owner = woman's name 4) create a new Dog, save with dog's name 5) dogname.owner = woman's name 6) create a new fish, save with fish name 7)fishname.owner = woman's name That's it. don't touch anything but the main method.

I don't understand what we're actually doing here. Are we assigning a value of a variable to a class?? when using dog.owner = woman;

What you're doing here is assigning a value to a variable. Here dog is an object and inside it is a variable called 'owner'. If you examine the code for the class Dog you will find a variable called 'owner' declared there which is of a type Woman. So when you create the dog object, it automatically has a variable called 'owner' inside it (as Objects contain whatever is there in the class they are born from). It is this variable dog.owner that has to be given a value, so effectively you are setting the value of this 'owner' variable to woman when you type dog.owner = woman;
