[CSC 204] Constructor and Method Naming in the ShippingCube

[Andrew J. Pounds]

In the past when some of you have turned in programs -- and especially 
in the case of labs -- you have named things using your own, sometimes 
creative, naming conventions. For example, you might have used Mercman 
instead of MercMan.  Or you chose to use a name like MercWoman.  While I 
was grading those I was able to figure out what you did and modified my 
tester programs accordingly.

The ShippingCube is going to have so many different constructors and 
methods that it is not going to be easy to try and figure out when you 
were using your own naming conventions -- and when you made a blatant 
error.   In fact, if you use your own creative names it won't even 
compile with my tester program -- and that really hurts your grade.    
Therefore, you MUST adhere to the *constructor and method names* as well 
as the *parameter and return types* specified on the assignment sheet.

In other words -- use setBallDiameterand not

setballdiameter,
SetBallDiameter, or
setBalldiameter.

Let me know if you have any questions about this.
