Really struggling to understand why this isn't correct
<?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;
}
public function getInfo() {
$output = "The {$this->common_name} is an awesome fish. ";
$output .= "It is very {$this->flavor} when eaten. ";
$output .= "Currently the world record {$this->common_name} weighed {$this->record_weight}.";
return $output;
}
}
class Trout extends Fish
{
public $species;
function __construct($name, $flavor, $record, $species)
{
$this->species = $species;
parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
}
public function getInfo()
{
return $this->species ." " . $this->common_name. " tastes ". $this->flavor ." The record ".
$this->species ." " .$this->common_name. " weighed " . $this->record_weight;
}
echo $brook_trout ->getInfo();
}
$brook_trout = new Trout("Trout", "Delicious", "14 pounds 8 ounces", "Brook");
?>
