Challenge 1 / 1

In the previous challenge, we created a NameableItemTrait and used it inside of GasPlanet and SolidPlanet.

But, there was another option: create a new AbstractPlanet class, move the logic there, and then extend this class.

In this situation, what was a better option: using a trait or extending a base class?

The trait is better because it would allow us to add this trait to other future classes that have a name, but aren't planets (e.g. the Meteoroid class).

The abstract class is better: these are both planets, so it makes sense to give these the same base AbstractPlanet class.

Both of these are correct!
