<font face="serif">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.<br>
<br>
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 <b>constructor
and method names</b> as well as the <b>parameter and return
types</b> specified on the assignment sheet.<br>
<br>
In other words -- use </font><font face="Courier New, Courier,
monospace">setBallDiameter</font><font face="serif"> and not<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">setballdiameter</font><tt>,</tt><font
face="serif"><br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">SetBallDiameter</font>,
or<br>
<font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">setBalldiameter</font>.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any questions about this.<br>
