Solution: Simulate with Objects

This Java program is a virtual pet simulator where the user interacts with a pet named Milo. The pet has two key attributes: hunger and happiness, both starting at a value of 5.

The Pet class defines how the pet behaves:

  • The feed() method lowers the hunger level (so the pet becomes less hungry) and shows the current hunger and happiness.

  • The play() method raises both hunger and happiness (playing makes the pet happy but also hungrier).

  • The checkMood() method checks if hunger is too high. If it is, the pet loses happiness and a warning message is displayed.

In the main() method, the program uses a menu system that repeatedly asks the user to:

  1. Feed the pet

  2. Play with the pet

  3. Exit the program

Each choice updates Milo’s status accordingly until the user chooses to exit.

Overall, the program demonstrates object-oriented programming, method interaction, and user input handling through a simple, interactive console-based game.
