Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create an object-oriented model simulating a library system where different media types (books, DVDs, magazines) inherit from a common Media base class, using polymorphism. Include overloaded methods for checking out each media type with different parameters.

💡 Hint: Think about how each type of media has common properties but behaves differently.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a class hierarchy for an animal shelter, using polymorphism to create a base class 'Animal' with a method 'makeSound()' overridden in subclasses like 'Dog' and 'Cat'. Implement method overloading to handle different types of sounds.

💡 Hint: Consider how real animals have unique sounds but still belong to a common category.
