Now that you
0:09
have learned about Java objects,
it's time for some more practice.
0:09
In this session, your goal will be
to create a new class to represent a cow.
0:13
Let's look through what you will need
to do to complete the challenge.
0:18
Attached to this video is a new workspace.
0:22
I've gone ahead and created a couple files
to help you get started.
0:25
We'll be starting in Cow.java where first
0:29
you'll need to create a new class
named cow.
0:32
Then you'll need to create
a private variable named name.
0:35
It should be a string.
0:39
And once it's set,
we shouldn't be able to change it.
0:41
After that, add a constructor
that takes a string argument,
0:44
and in the constructor,
use that string argument
0:49
to populate the name variable
from step two.
0:52
Finally, create a getter
to return the name of the cow.
0:55
Once that's done over in Main.java,
I've already set up the main method,
1:00
so all that's left for you is to create
a new cow named Larry and finally
1:05
print out the name of your cow object
to make sure everything's working.
1:10
And once that's done,
you'll want to run your program
1:15
to see if it's compiling
and running as expected.
1:18
This is what the result should look like.
1:22
Start by clearing the screen
1:24
and then compiling Main.java
using the Java C command,
1:27
and then finally run
your program using the Java command.
1:32
And there you go.
1:39
We see that the cow is named Larry.
1:40
Good luck with this challenge.
1:44
In the next video
I'll go over my solution.
