Add an abstract int avgBreedWeight() method to the Dog class. Remember that this means that the word abstract appears in the method header after public, and that the method does not have a body (just a semicolon after the parameter list). It makes sense for this to be abstract, since Dog has no idea what breed it is. Now any subclass of Dog must have an avgBreedWeight method; since both Yorkshire and Laborador do, you should be all set.
Save these changes and recompile DogTest.java. You should get an error in Dog.java (unless you made more changes than described above). Figure out what's wrong and fix this error, then recompile DogTest.java. You should get another error, this time in DogTest.java. Read the error message carefully; it tells you exactly what the problem is. Fix this by changing DogTest (which will mean taking some things out).
