PET.JAVA CLASS FILE

1. Before you begin, it is important to understand what your client needs the software to do, and what work has already been done by your team. Review the Pet BAG Specification Document, located in the Supporting Materials section, which includes a UML Class diagram. Pay close attention to the class hierarchy, attributes, and behaviors.

1. To begin, open the Virtual Lab by clicking on the link in the Virtual Lab Access module. Then open your integrated development environment (IDE) and create the Pet class based on the specifications in the UML Class diagram. The Pet class must include the following:
   • All attributes with appropriate data structures. Note that the types are not specified in this UML class diagram. You will need to think about what the most appropriate data type is for each attribute.
   • At least one constructor method. You may use a default constructor. To score “exemplary” on this criterion, your constructor must initialize values for the petType, petName, petAge, and daysStay attributes.
   • Accessors and mutators for all attributes

   Note: You are only being asked to create one class. Though the UML diagram shows the Pet class as part of a larger application, for this project, you are not required to connect it to other classes or to try and run it as a program. Instead, you are practicing the skill of creating a class from a UML Class diagram.
