Bael 2019 static vs dynamic binding (#4807)

* adding the required classes for binding example

* completed test class for AnimalActivityUnitTest static functions

* changes to example so that they don't seem to be a replica of https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19017258/static-vs-dynamic-binding-in-java

* refactoring and removing unnecessary file

* revert changes to RegexUnitTest
