"woof, woof" was appropriate for where you did your hands on learning if the
dog was a Lab. Or, if your instructor was from Germany, and if the students
(as a group) were following his lead, you were the flock and he would have
been a German shepherd.

Hi Cara,
Well, back when I was in college getting my computer science degree
one of the professors stressed keeping things simple stupid. One of
the ways he taught us to understand object orientated programming is
by using common everyday things everyone was likely to be familiar
with. One of our first lab projects was to create a virtual pet in C++
that printed things to the screen like "woof woof" or "meow meow"
which sounds pretty lame, but got the point across that barking was to
the dog class and meowing went with the cat class, and both shared an
animal class that could eat, sleep, walk, wag tails, and so forth. I
got the OOP concept real quick just because the sample project was so
down to earth and common place. While there are plenty of
possibilities for OOP programming and inheritance I think the animals
demonstration is the one that clicks best for most people.
Cheers!

Hi Tomas, I like animals too and was actually thinking of including that
but
was just too darned late for me at the time. lol! but agreed though,
animals
are good! Love the cat class! ;) Meow, purr, hiss! lol!
Anyway, I'll need to give Jacob's note a reread now that it's daytime.
(Thanks Jacob!) I got what he was getting at. :)
anyway, thanks for the note and hope you and everyone's Friday / start of
the weekend is going awesome!
Smiles,
Cara :)
