Consider the following code (assume that 'Cat' and 'Dog' classes exist that each have one private member variable 'name', a constructor that takes String name, and a getter called 'getName'): ArrayList<Object> myAnimals = new ArrayList<>(); myAnimals.add(new Cat("Buttons")); myAnimals.add(new Dog("Ralph")); myAnimals.add(new Cat("Elizabeth")); Cat myCat = myAnimals.get(0); a. [2 marks] What line of code will result in an error, what is that error, and why is it occurring? What can we add to that line to fix the error? Explain. b. [2 marks] Assume that we swap lines two and three with each other and keep your solution to part (a) in the code. Do we still get an error? If so, how is it different from the previous error? Explain. c. [2 marks] Discuss the issue(s) of creating an ArrayList as demonstrated in the first line of the above code. What problems can this introduce? Explain. d.
