Learning Activity $3$: Animals

Create a simple set of classes representing types of animals.

$1.$ Create a base class representing all animals. The base class should contain a field for the animal$$s name. The name should be set to $$Animal$$ by default but should also be set to a more specific value by any derived classes. The base class should also have a field for storing the number of legs the animal has. By default, in the Animal class, legs are set to $0.$ The animal class should have three virtual functions namely $$GetName$(),$ GetLegs$(),$ and GetSpecialAbility$(),$ that return the Animal$$s Name, the total number of legs, and the special ability of the Animal. Moreover, this base class contains an overridden ToString$()$ method, to return all of its state variables in a given format. $[$Please investigate the starter code, or the provided input$/$ output to understand the format.$]$

$2.$ Create a Dog class that is a type of Animal, and the class also contains a method called GetSpecialAbility$()$ that returns $$Woof$.$

$3.$ Create a Fish class that is a type of Animal, and the class also contains a method called GetSpecialAbility$()$ that returns $$Just keep swimming$.$

$4.$ Create a Shark class that is a type of Fish, and also contains a method called GetSpecialAbility$()$ that uses a reference animal object that was initially passed as a parameter to a constructor method and returns $$Shark ate $.$
