Project Animal Kingdom Search
A student that completes this project shows that they can:
- implement and use interfaces in Java
- implement and use abstract classes in Java
- implement and use Lambda Expressions in Java
Introduction
Instruction
-
Create an abstract class for animals
-
All animals consume food the same way
-
Each animal is assigned a unique number, a name, and year discovered regardless of classification.
-
The methods will return a string saying how that animal implements the action
-
Animals can move, breath, reproduce
-
-
Create classes for mammals, birds, fish
- Mammals move - walk, breath - lungs, reproduce - live births
- Birds move - fly, breath - lungs, reproduce - eggs
- Fish move - swim, breath - gills, reproduce - eggs
-
Create a collection for the animals using the following data
-
Mammals:
- Name: Panda Year Named: 1869
- Name: Zebra Year Named: 1778
- Name: Koala Year Named: 1816
- Name: Sloth Year Named: 1804
- Name: Armadillo Year Named: 1758
- Name: Raccoon Year Named: 1758
- Name: Bigfoot Year Named: 2021
-
Birds:
- Name: Pigeon Year Named: 1837
- Name: Peacock Year Named: 1821
- Name: Toucan Year Named: 1758
- Name: Parrot Year Named: 1824
- Name: Swan Year Named: 1758
-
Fish:
- Name: Salmon Year Named: 1758
- Name: Catfish Year Named: 1817
- Name: Perch Year Named: 1758
-
-
Using Lambda Expressions
- List all the animals in descending order by year named
- List all the animals alphabetically
- List all the animals order by how they move
- List only those animals the breath with lungs
- List only those animals that breath with lungs and were named in 1758
- List only those animals that lay eggs and breath with lungs
- List alphabetically only those animals that were named in 1758
