Sibling Coding issue

Step 1: In the Client.php file, create a new class named "Client" that takes it's initial abilities and attributes from the user class, and DOES NOT have the skills of a Developer class.

Step 2: Add a new Client string property named "company" along with its GETTERS and SETTERS.

<?php //add code for Client class class Client extends User { private $company;

public getCompany() { return $this->company; }

public setCompany($company) { $this->company = $company; }

User.php 
<?php
//do not modify this file
class User {
    protected $name;
    protected $title;

    public function __construct($name = null, $title = null) {
        $this->name = $name;
        $this->title = $title;
    }

    public function __toString() {
        return $this->getSalutation();
    }

    public function getSalutation() {
        return $this->title . " " . $this->name;
    }

    public function getName() {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setName($name) {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getTitle() {
        return $this->title;
    }

    public function setTitle($title) {
        $this->title = $title;
    }
}
Developer.php 
<?php
//do not modify this file
class Developer extends User 
{
  protected $skills;

  public function getSkills() {
      return $this->skills;
  }

  public function setSkills($array) {
      $this->skills = $array;
  }

  public function displayUserSkills() {
      return $this->getName() . ' has the following skills: ' . implode(", ", $this->skills);
  }
}
Client.php 
<?php
//add code for Client class
class Client extends User
{
  private $company;

public getCompany()
{
  return $this->company;
}

public setCompany($company)
{
  $this->company = $company;
}
