# Challenges: Animal Kingdom
# Read all stories before starting the challenge.

# As a developer, I can make a generic Animal class.

class Animal
    attr_accessor :name, :alive, :age 
    
    def initialize (name)
        @name=name
        @alive=true 
        @age=0

    end

    def age (age)
        @age += 1 
    end

    def get_status (alive)
      p " #{@name} is #{@age} years old and is #{@alive}."

    end

end
# XAs a developer, upon initialization, I can give my Animal a status of alive, which will be set to true.
# XAs a developer, I can give my Animal an age of 0 upon initialization.
# XAs a developer, I can age my Animal up one year at a time.
# XAs a developer, I can return my Animal's age, as well as if they're alive.
# Hint: Use attr_accessor as well as an initialize method.
# As a developer, I can create a Fish that inherits from Animal.
class Fish < Animal 
    attr_accessor :name, :cold_blooded
    def initalize (name)
        super(name)
        @cold_blooded=true 
        
    end

end 

# As a developer, I can initialize all of my fish to be cold_blooded. (Yes, there is one fish who is technically fully warm-blooded but we aren't going to talk about that.)
# As a developer, I can create a Salmon that inherits from Fish.

class Salmon < Fish 
    attr_accessor :name, :cold_blooded
    def initalize (type)
        super(name)
        @type=type
    end
end

atlantic = Salmon.new('salmon', 'atlantic')

p atlantic
#  As a developer, I can initialize my Salmon to be a specific species (Atlantic, Sockeye, etc).
# As a developer, I can see that my Salmon is cold-blooded.
# As a developer, I can age my Salmon up.
# As a developer, I can see a message that tells me all of my Salmon's information.
# As a developer, if my Salmon reaches the ripe old age of 4, I can make it die peacefully after a full and happy life.
# Hint: You will need a method that changes the status of alive in the initialize method of Animal.
# As a developer, I can create a Mammal that inherits from Animal.
# As a developer, I can initialize all of my Mammals to be warm_blooded.
# As a developer, I can create a Bear that inherits from Mammal.
# As a developer, I can age my Bear up.
# As a developer, I can see a message that tells me all of my Bear's information.
# As a developer, if my Bear turns 20 years old, I can make it die peacefully after a full and happy life.
# Hint: You will need a method that changes the status of alive in the initialize method of Animal.
# As a developer, I can create a Mammal of my choice.
# As a developer, I can interact with the new Mammal via various methods.
# As a developer, I can see a message that tells me all of my new Mammal's information.
# 🏔 Stretch Goals
# As a developer, I can keep a collection of two of each Animal.
# Hint: You'll want to add your Animals into an array.
# As a developer, I can sort my collection of Animals based on age.
# Hint: Find out how the spaceship operator can help you with an array.
# As a developer, I can utilize a Ruby module to help DRY up my code. I can create a swim method inside of my module that will apply to Animals who can swim. This method should return "I can swim!"
# Hint: Look into module mix ins. Since not all animals can swim, only certain Animals will have access to this module.
