New to Java

Hi,

this is my requirement

This program takes, as a single input, the name of a particular animal. The program should print out the animal’s name as well as a list of noises, or sounds, that this particular animal could make. Determine what, if anything should be modified in order to make this program work.

and here is the program

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;

public class AnimalNoisesTest {
	
	public static Map<Animal, List<Noise>> animalNoises;
	
	public AnimalNoisesTest(){
		
		animalNoises = new HashMap<Animal, List<Noise>>();
		
		List noises = new ArrayList<Noise>();
		noises.add(new Noise("bark"));
		noises.add(new Noise("woof"));
				
		animalNoises.put(new Animal("dog"), noises);
		
		noises.clear();
		noises.add(new Noise("meow"));
		noises.add(new Noise("hiss"));
		noises.add(new Noise("purr"));

		animalNoises.put(new Animal("cat"), noises);
		
		*System.out.println("key: " + animalNoises.get("cat"));*
		
		
		}

	/**
	 * @param args
	 * @return 
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String animal = args[0];
		
		AnimalNoisesTest animalNoisesTest = new AnimalNoisesTest();
		
		System.out.println("animalNoisesTest: " + animalNoisesTest.animalNoises.size());
		
		*if( animalNoisesTest.animalNoises.containsKey(animal)){*
			List<Noise> noises = animalNoisesTest.animalNoises.get(animal);
		
	
	for( Noise obj: noises ){
			
			System.out.println("A " + animal + "says " + ((Noise)obj).getNoise() + ".");
		}
		}
	}
	
	public class Animal{
		private String anAnimal;
		public Animal(String animalName){
			this.anAnimal = animalName;
		}
	}
	
	public class Noise{
		private String aNoise;
		
		public Noise(String noise){
			this.aNoise = noise;
		}
		
		public String getNoise(){
			return aNoise;
		}
		
		public void setNoise(String noise){
			this.aNoise = noise;
		}
	}
}
