Explain the answer step-by-step and include verbal explanation. Thank you!

 

 

  1. Given the below class:

public class Dog {
    private String name;
    private double weight;
    private static int numDogs = 0;

    public Dog(String name, double weight) {
        this.name = name;
        this.weight = weight;
        numDogs++;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public double getWeight() {
        return weight;
    }

    public static int getNumDogs() {
        return numDogs;
    }

public static void increaseNumDogs() {
numDogs++;
}

public void printGreeting() {
        System.out.println("Woof!");
    }

    @Override public String toString() {
        return "Name: " + name + "\nWeight: " + weight;
   }
}

 

Call the printGreeting method. What is different about the way you call this method compared to the prior two methods.
