Redefining The Student Class

You just learned how to avoid repeating yourself by using class inheritance. Now you've been tasked with putting that knowledge to use.

Directions

1. Within ~/dev/wdi/godot/w02/d04/student/wdi_the_program/, create a file called student.rb
2. Within student.rb, define a barebones Student class and make it inherit the behaviors of the Human class
3. In main.rb, use require_relative to bring in the code from student.rb

• Note: Make sure you require the student.rb file after you've required human.rb, because the former is going to rely on the class definition in the latter.

1. Great, now instantiate a student object in main.rb and assign it to a sensibly-named variable. Then use some of the behaviors your student inherited from the Human class (for example, speak and shout) to make sure it worked.

• Don't move on until Human behaviors work for your student object.

1. Upon instantiation, give every Student an attribute called homeworks assigned to an empty array.

• provide a getter for homeworks

1. Provide instances of the Student class with the ability to do_homework. do_homework should take a single argument and push whatever gets passed in as an argument into the student's homeworks array.
