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
