Basic Inheritance in Java: Explanation & Practice

Create a child class that inherits from parent

Problem summary

Create an Animal class and a Dog class that inherits from it.

Starter code

// Create Animal class with:
// - void eat() prints "Eating..."

// Create Dog class extending Animal with:
// - void bark() prints "Woof!"

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create dog and call both methods
    }
}

Hints

Use 'extends' keyword for inheritance
Child class gets parent's methods
Dog inherits eat() from Animal
