package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
)

type FruitType interface {
    Wash() FruitType
    Eat() string
}

type Fruit struct {
    name  string
    dirty bool
    fruit FruitType
}

func (f *Fruit) Wash() FruitType {
    f.dirty = false
    if f.fruit != nil {
        return f.fruit
    }
    return f
}
func (f *Fruit) Eat() string {
    if f.dirty {
        return fmt.Sprintf("The %s is dirty, wash it first!", f.name)
    }
    return fmt.Sprintf("%s is so delicious!", f.name)
}

type Orange struct {
    *Fruit
}

func NewOrange() *Orange {
    ft := &Orange{&Fruit{"Orange", true, nil}}
    ft.fruit = ft
    return ft
}
func NewApple() *Fruit {
    ft := &Fruit{"apple", true, nil}
    return ft
}

func (o *Orange) Eat() string {
    return "The orange is so sour!"
}

func main() {
    log.Println(NewApple().Eat())
    log.Println(NewApple().Wash().Eat())
    log.Println(NewOrange().Eat())
    log.Println(NewOrange().Wash().Eat())
}
