Learning PHP with CodeAcademy

[Kasha]

Hey people!

 

I'm new here and I desperately need your help! I have my PHP exam on monday so I'm practicing with codeacademy. I know it's easy stuff for you, but don't judge and help a girl out please!

 

These are the instructions:

1. Create a class called Cat.
2. Add two public properties to this class: $isAlive ought to store the value true and $numLegsshould contain the value 4.
3. Add a public $name property, which gets its value via the__construct()or.
4. Add a public method calledmeow(), which returns "Meow meow".
5. Create an instance of the Catclass, which has the $name "CodeCat".
6. Call the meow() method on thisCat and echo the result.

This is my code:

<?php

          class Cat {

           public $isAlive = true ;

           public $numLegs = 4 ;

              

          public function __construct ($name) {

              $this -> name = $name ;

          }

          public function meow () {

            return "Meow meow" ;  

          } 

          }  

          $cat1 = new Cat ("Codecat", "Codecat" , "Codecat") ;

          echo $cat1->meow ();

        ?>

 

This is the error:

Oops, try again. Hey, your 'new' cat ought to be called 'CodeCat'!

Close ->

<?php
class Cat {
  public $isAlive = true;
  public $numLegs = 4;
		
  public function __construct($name) {
    $this->name = $name;
  }
  public function meow() {
    return "Meow meow";  
  } 
}  
$cat1 = new Cat('CodeCat');
echo $cat1->meow();

Yaaaay it works!!

Thaaanks....I found the problem...I wrote "Codecat" instead of "CodeCat"

 

Problem solved.

If you think that was the problem then you have many more problems when it comes to coding.
