05. Exercise: Animal Class

Inheritance

In this exercise you will practice building an inheritance hierarchy.

Instructions

  1. Define a class Animal.
  2. Define 3 member variables: color, name, age.
  3. Define a derived class Snake that inherits from the base class Animal.
  4. Create a member variable length for the Snake class.
  5. Create a derived class Cat that inherits from the base class Animal.
  6. Create a member variable height for the Cat class.
  7. Create MakeSound() member functions for each of the derived classes.
  8. In the main() function instantiate Snake and Cat objects. Initialize both their unique and derived attributes. Program them to make a sound.
