从超类中确实没有很好的方法可以做到这一点,因为每个子类的行为都会有所不同.
要确保您实际调用适当的移动方法,请将Animal从超类更改为接口.然后,当您调用move方法时,您将能够确保为所需对象调用适当的移动方法.
如果你想保留公共字段,那么你可以定义一个抽象类AnimalBase,并要求所有动物构建它,但每个实现都需要实现Animal接口.
例:
public abstract class AnimalBase {
private String name;
private int age;
private boolean gender;
// getters and setters for the above are good to have here
}
public interface Animal {
public void move();
public void eat();
public void sleep();
}
// The below won't compile because the contract for the interface changed.
// You'll have to implement eat and sleep for each object.
public class Reptiles extends AnimalBase implements Animal {
public void move() {
System.out.println("Slither!");
}
}
public class Birds extends AnimalBase implements Animal {
public void move() {
System.out.println("Flap flap!");
}
}
public class Amphibians extends AnimalBase implements Animal {
public void move() {
System.out.println("Some sort of moving sound...");
}
}
// in some method, you'll be calling the below
List animalList = new ArrayList<>();
animalList.add(new Reptiles());
animalList.add(new Amphibians());
animalList.add(new Birds());
// call your method without fear of it being generic
for(Animal a : animalList) {
a.move();
}
