Ruby Super Inheritance Lab

Objectives

  1. Define two classes, one of which inherits from another.
  2. Define methods in the child class that use the super keyword to inherit from and augment methods in the parent class.

Instructions

In this lab, you'll be coding a Student class, which will be the parent class, and a ChattyStudent class, which will inherit from student. ChattyStudent is a student, so should have all of the behaviors and characteristics of a student. But, ChattyStudent is very chatty. So, he or she will elaborate on any phrases that are inherited from Student.

  • Write a method in the Student class, #hello, that puts out the phrase: "Hey there! I'm so excited to learn stuff."
  • Write a method in the Student class, raise_hand, that puts out the phrase: "Pick me!"
  • Write a method in the ChattyStudent class, #hello, that uses the super keyword to inherit the behavior of the #hello method from the parent, Student, class. Then, augment that method to also puts out the very chatty phrase: "How are you doing today? I'm okay, but I'm kind of tired. Did you watch The Walking Dead last night? You didn't?! Oh man, it was so crazy! What, you don't want any spoilers? Okay well let me just tell you who died..."
  • Write a method in the ChattyStudent class, raise_hand, that uses the super keyword ten times so that the method will puts out "Pick me!" ten times. It is possible to simply call super multiple times in a method.
