The AnimalHouse class represents a house for an animal and contains fields and methods to manipulate and retrieve information about the animal.
How can we define the AnimalHouse class to accommodate a generic type parameter E?To define the AnimalHouse class with a generic type parameter E, we can use the following code:
```java
public class AnimalHouse<E> {
private E animal;
public AnimalHouse() {
// Default constructor
}
public AnimalHouse(E animal) {
this.animal = animal;
}
public E getAnimal() {
return animal;
}
public void setAnimal(E obj) {
this.animal = obj;
}
public String toString() {
return "Animal: " + animal.toString();
}
}
```
In the above code, the class is declared with a generic type parameter E using `<E>`. The private data field `animal` of type E represents the animal in the house. The class has a default constructor and an overloaded constructor that takes an animal as a parameter and initializes the `animal` field accordingly. The `getAnimal()` method returns the animal field, and the `setAnimal(E obj)` method sets the animal with the given parameter. The `toString()` method overrides the default `toString()` implementation and returns a string representation of the animal field.
