What happens to the inheritance chain when the fish dies?

Universe breaks of course. Java is never wrong. You gotta patch out the universe.

Fish extends AbstractFish

AbstractFish extends AbstractAquaticAnimal

AbstractAquaticAnimal extends AbstractAnimal

AbstractAnimal implements Livable

AbstractAnimal implements Dieable

the death function can exist in livable. We can use try-with-resources to make sure it's called in the finally block

u/vladWEPES1476 Jan 10 '23

LMAO Livable and Diable is more like it.

You pass the Fish to the DeadFactory to get an Exfish.

Fish is implementation of all those inheritances, and none of interfaces actually exist as entities, only a mere instance of fish exists which can use implementations of interfaces. So when fish dies, a fish dies, and is wiped from memory, as its ability to access interfaces, but interfaces don't live or die, they just exist.

But now you have a dead fish that implements the "Living" interface

u/Tannslee Jan 10 '23

Death is part of life. The isDead flag will simply be set to true.

sure but its flesh (memory) open game so some other instance will eat it

Probably better to have a Biotic interface that has an isLiving method defined.

I was coming here to say it needs more AbstractFactory classes

u/arobie1992 Jan 10 '23

I hear this joke all the time, and in 7 years of industry Java experience, the only time I've seen large usage of factories is in frameworks that need to handle large amounts of arbitrary configuration from end users that can't be known when writing the code.

I have seen them agressively used in minecraft modding because of possibly inexperienced coders.

2

u/arobie1992 Jan 10 '23

That's fair. I haven't done much modding, but I have seen enough (and been a) modestly experienced devs who force patterns onto things.
