--- turn(int) in Animal cannot be applied to (int,int). Required:int; Found: int,int; reason:
actual and formal argument list differ in length
4. Add turn(4.5) to the code. Compile.
--- incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from double to int
5. Change to public double act(). Compile.
--- act() cannot override act() in Animal; return type double is not compatible with void
6. Change to public voids act(). Compile.
--- cannot find symbol - class voids
7. Change to public Turtle extends Actor. Compile.
--- class, interface, or enum expected
