3,833 PointsOverriding Methods in Swift 2.0
I have no idea what im doing.
The task is to create a class named Doctor that overrides the getFullName() method.
//I'm assuming a subclass, so i need to use override and super. somewhere//
Once you have a class definition, create an instance and assign it to a constant named some Doctor.
For example , given the first name SAM and last name SMITH, calling getFullName() on an instance of Person would return "Sam Smith", but calling the same method on instance of Doctor would return Dr. SMITH
I have a vague idea of what to do but no idea how to assemble the knowledge.
class Person {
let firstName: String
let lastName: String
init(firstName: String, lastName: String) {
self.firstName = firstName
self.lastName = lastName
}
func getFullName() -> String {
return "\(firstName) \(lastName)"
}
}
// Enter your code below

71,830 PointsFred, something along these lines:
class Doctor: Person {
override func getFullName() -> String {
return "Dr. \(lastName)"
}
}
let someDoctor = Doctor(firstName: "Sam", lastName: "Smith")
