5,592 PointsCreate a method on fish
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. They ask that I create a method on fish named getinfo that takes no parameters and returns a string.
<?php
class Fish { public $common_name; public $flavor; public $record_weight;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){ $this ->common_name = $name; $this ->flavor = $flavor; $this -> record_weight = $record; }
//method public function getinfo(){ return "The $this->name . is a $this->flavor . flavored fish with a revord weight of . $this->record; } } $bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
?>
<?php
class Fish {
public $common_name;
public $flavor;
public $record_weight;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
$this ->common_name = $name;
$this ->flavor = $flavor;
$this -> record_weight = $record;
}
//method
public function getinfo(){
return "The $this->name . is a $this->flavor . flavored fish with a revord weight of . $this->record;
}
}
$bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
?>

echo $bass->getinfo();
The challenge doesn't say to explicitly call the method which is probably what tripped you up.

9,214 PointsIn your return values you are using the arguments from your constructor class and not the properties of the class.

5,592 PointsI put this in and it's still not working.
<?php
class Fish { public $common_name; public $flavor; public $record_weight;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){ $this ->common_name = $name; $this ->flavor = $flavor; $this -> record_weight = $record; }
//method public function getinfo(){ return "The $this->name . is a $this->flavor . flavored fish with a revord weight of . $this->record; } } $bass = new Fish("Largemouth Bass", "Excellent", "22 pounds 5 ounces");
echo $bass->getinfo();
?>
