The document discusses inheritance in object-oriented programming. It shows an Animal class with a walk method and a Bird class that extends Animal to inherit its walk method and also adds a fly method. A Bird object can call both walk and fly.

Using  inheritance,  one  class  can  acquire  the  properties  of  others.

 Consider  the  following  Animal  class:  

class Animal {
void walk() {
System.out.println("I am walking");
}
}

This  class  has  only  one  method,  walk.  Next,  we  want  to  create  a  Bird  class  that  also  has  a  fly  method.  We  do  this  
using  extends  keyword:  

class Bird extends Animal {


void fly() {
System.out.println("I am flying");
}
}

Finally,  we  can  create  a  Bird  object  that  can  both  fly  and  walk.  

public class Solution {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Bird bird = new Bird();
bird.walk();
bird.fly();
}
}

The  above  code  will  print:  


I am walking
I am flying  

This  means  that  a  Bird  object  has  all  the  properties  that  an  Animal  object  has,  as  well  as  some  additional  unique  
properties.  

You  must  add  a  sing  method  to  the  Bird  class,  then  modify  the  main  method  accordingly  so  that  the  code  prints  the  
following  lines:  

I am walking
I am flying
I am singing
