In the last exercise, we created a parent class named Animal for two child classes named Cat and Dog.

The Animal class below contains the shared properties and methods of Cat and Dog.

class Animal { constructor(name) { this._name = name; this._behavior = 0; } get name() { return this._name; } get behavior() { return this._behavior; } incrementBehavior() { this._behavior++; } }

The code below shows the Cat class that will inherit information from the Animal class.

class Cat { constructor(name, usesLitter) { this._name = name; this._usesLitter = usesLitter; this._behavior = 0; } get name() { return this._name; } get behavior() { return this._behavior; } get usesLitter() { return this._usesLitter; } incrementBehavior() { this._behavior++; } }

To the right, in main.js, you will put what you learned to practice by creating a parent class named HospitalEmployee.

Instructions

1.

In the next few exercises, you will create two subclasses (Doctor and Nurse) from a parent class named HospitalEmployee. Below, we have listed the properties and methods you will find in the Doctor and Nurse classes.

Doctor

  • Properties: _name, _remainingVacationDays (set to 20 inside the constructor()), _insurance
  • Methods: .takeVacationDays()

Nurse

  • Properties: _name, _remainingVacationDays (set to 20 inside constructor()), _certifications
  • Methods: .takeVacationDays(), .addCertification()

In main.js, create a parent class named HospitalEmployee. Add a constructor with name as an argument.

2.

Inside of the constructor(), set the instance’s _name to name and _remainingVacationDays to 20.

3.

Under the constructor, create getters for your _name and _remainingVacationDays properties.

Inside the getter, return the property’s value.

4.

Under the getters, add a method called takeVacationDays.

This method should accept one argument, called daysOff.

Inside the method, subtract daysOff from _remainingVacationDays. Save the result to _remainingVacationDays.
