Create a class called Person which defines the generic data and functionality of a human.
A class is a collection of attributes and functions. Different languages use different terminology for these things, but the bacic concepts are the same.
Give your Person class should have the following attributes:
Give your Person class a hello function:
Example usage:
// JavaScript:
let person = new Person('Ryan',30,'male',['being a hardarse','agile', 'ssd hard drives'] )
let greeting = person.hello()
console.log(greeting)
# Python
person = Person('Ryan',30,'male',['being a hardarse','agile', 'ssd hard drives'] )
greeting = person.hello()
print(greeting)
// Java
Person person = new Person(
"Ryan",30,"male",
new String[] {"being a hardarse", "agile", "ssd hard drives"})
String greeting = person.hello()
System.out.println(greeting)
This should output:
Hello, my name is Ryan and I am 30 years old. My interests are being a hardarse, agile and ssd hard drives.
