Use Inheritance concepts to create a class

Use Inheritance and Polymorphism concepts to create a class named Animal with three derived classes. Each Animal has different characteristics and act different. Create a class that will show these differences by creating objects of type Animal, Dog, Cat and Bird.

• Create a base class named Animal with three derived classes named
  • Gorilla,
  • Fish, and
  • Bird.
• Create a derived class named Penguin whose base class is Bird.
• Create constructors for each class.
• Create destructors for each class.
• All classes will have the following private instance fields, including Animal
  • legs that will initialize to 0
  • boolean swim that will initialize to false;
• All classes will have the following polymorphic methods, including Animal
  • getLegs( ) – this returns the number of legs the animal has
  • makeSount( ) – this outputs the type of sound the animal makes
  • canSwim( ) – this will return true or false
• makeSound( ) method will be a virtual function in the Animal class
• Create an exception in the getLegs( ) method that makes sure the number of legs are valid
• Create a main method to demonstrate the all functions including the following with appropriate output

Animal animal; animal.makeSound(); Dog dog dog.makeSound(); cout Animal badDog = Dog(); badDog.makeSound(); cout Animal* goodDog = new Dog(); goodDog->makeSound(); cout << goodDog->getLegs;
