Question

Here is the topic of the program:

"My dog, named Buddy, lives in the backyard. He barks at night when he sees a cat or a squirrel that has come to visit. If he sees a frog, and he is hungry, he eats it. If he sees a frog and he isn't hungry, he plays with it. If he has eaten 2 frogs already, and is still hungry, he will let it go. If he sees a coyote, he crys for help. Sometime his friend Spot stops by, and they chase each other. If he sees any other animal, he simply watches it.

Write one test program and a set of classes that keeps track of all of the backyard activity and stores the results into a file for a given night. I would expect that you would have an animal class, and a cat, dog, squirrel, coyote class that inherits from the animal class. You would need to keep track of how many frogs he has eaten, how many animals of each type has come and visited, how often he has played and other such details. "

You will also need to write a test program that will read the file that was generated from the other test program, and print out how many animals of each type that he has seen, what he has done with them on a particular day. The user will need to enter in the date, and the information from the file for that date will be read in, and displayed.

Add in any other capability to the program that you need so it covers all of the required programming concepts listed. Be creative with this assignment.
