Challenge Task 4 of 4
In the Mockingbird.php file, create a "Mockingbird" class that inherits from the Bird Class and also uses the Flyable interface. Make sure you define all abstract methods.
<?php
// abstract bird class
abstract class Bird
{
public $color,$wingspan,$habitat;
public function eat()
{
}
public function sleep(){
}
public abstract function communicate($type);
}
<?php
// real Mockingbird class (can fly)
class Mockingbird extends Bird {
public abstract function communicate($type)
}
<?php
// real penguin class (cannot fly)
class Penguin extends Bird {
public function communicate($type) {
}
}

<?php
// real Mockingbird class (can fly)
class Mockingbird extends Bird implements Flyable
{
public function communicate($type) {
}
public function takeOff() {
}
public function land() {
}
public function fly($dest) {
}
}

8,021 PointsI believe this challenge will need to show the flyable interface file so we can see the methods in there and not simply check all the time for errors. So this is how it needs to work: Even though you extended Bird you still need to implement Flyable:
<?php
class Mockingbird extends Bird implements Flyable {
public function communicate($type) {
}
}
After you're doing this you'll need to define additional methods, when you press recheck you will see those methods that need to be implemented. Try to implement them yourself :)
Those methods are:
takeOff()
fly($dest)
land()
