Implement Inheritance Heirarchy
Implement a Shape abstract class which will form the base of an inheritance hierarchy that models 2D geometric shapes. It will have:
* A non-mutable
* A
* A
Submit a new solution for ruby
There are 14 other solutions in additional languages (clojure, cpp, csharp, fantom ...)
* A non-mutable
'name' property or data member set by derived or descendant classes at construction time
* A
'area' method intended to be overridden by derived or descendant classes ( double precision floating point return value)
* A
'print' method (also for overriding) will display the shape's name, area, and all shape-specific values
Two derived or descendant classes will be created:
* Circle -> Constructor requires a 'radius' argument, and a 'circumference' method to be implemented
* Rectangle -> Constructor requires 'length' and 'breadth' arguments, and a 'perimeter' method to be implemented
Instantiate an object of each class, and invoke each objects 'print' method to show relevant details.
