Challenge: Dog

Description: Create a Dog class that contains specified properties and methods. Create an instance of Dog and use its methods.

Purpose: This application provides experience with creating classes and instances of objects in C#.

Requirements:

Project Name: Dog Target Platform: Console Programming Language: C#

Documentation:

• Types and members (Links to an external site.) (Microsoft)
• Classes and structs (Links to an external site.) (Microsoft) (Links to an external site.)
• Enumeration types (Links to an external site.) (Microsoft)

Create a class called Dog.

Dog is to have the following public properties:

• name (of type string)
• owner (of type string)
• age (of type int)
• gender (of type Gender)

Gender is a enum type you need to create that contains Male and Female.

Create a constructor (Links to an external site.) in the class to initialize all of the properties when creating an instance.

Create a method (function in the class) called Bark that takes one parameter that is the number of times to bark and prints Woof! that many times to the Console.

Create a method called GetTag that takes no parameters and returns a string. The method returns If lost, call [owner]. [Her|His] name is [name] and [she|he] is [age] [year|years] old.

[owner] means replace with the name of the owner.

[Her|His] means choose to display Her or His based on the gender of the Dog.

[name] means replace with the name of the Dog.

[she|he] means choose to display she or he based on the gender of the Dog.

[year|years] means to choose to display year or years depending on the age of the Dog. If age is 1, use year. If any other age, use years.

In the Main function of the application, test that instances of Dog can be created and that the methods work. In the following, Orion is the name of the Dog instance, Shawn is the owner, 1 is the age, and Gender.Male is the gender.

Dog puppy = Dog("Orion", "Shawn", 1, Gender.Male); // create object instance puppy.Bark(3); // output: Woof!Woof!Woof! Console.WriteLine(puppy.GetTag()); // output: If lost, call Shawn. His name is Orion and he is 1 year old. Dog myDog = Dog("Lileu", "Dale", 4, Gender.Female); // create object instance myDog.Bark(1); // output: Woof! Console.WriteLine(myDog.GetTag()); // output: If lost, call Dale. Her name is Lileu and she is 4 years old.
