Kotlin Class: Create an Animal class and make animal sounds

Kotlin Class: Exercise-11 with Solution

Write a Kotlin program that creates a class 'Animal' with properties for name and sound. Include a function to make the animal's sound.

Sample Solution:

Kotlin Code:

class Animal(
    val name: String,
    val sound: String
) {
    fun makeSound() {
        println("$name makes the sound: $sound")
    }
}

fun main() {
    val tiger = Animal("Tiger", "Roar!")
    val lion = Animal("Lion", "Growls!")
    
    tiger.makeSound()
    lion.makeSound()
}

Sample Output:

Tiger makes the sound: Roar!
Lion makes the sound: Growls!

Explanation:

In the above exercise -

• We define a class "Animal" with two properties: name and sound, representing the animal's name and sound.
• The class includes a function makeSound that prints the animal's name along with its sound.
• In the main() function, we create two instances of the Animal class: tiger with the name "Tiger" and sound "Roar!", and lion with the name "Lion" and sound "Growls!".
• We then call the makeSound function on both tiger and lion objects. This prints the animal's name along with its sound using the println function.
