Administrative Details

Due Date: Friday, September 15, 2006 at 11:59pm
Points: 20 points possible. 5 points taken off each day late.

Your assignment is to create a "Person" class.
Details:

This Person class must be named "Person" - note the capital "P." If your class is titled "person" the automatic grader will give you a zero for the project.
Your Person class must have the following methods:

A contructor that takes a single argument: a String. The String will be the the name of the person.
A "setName" method that takes a single argument: a String. This method replaces the name of the person.
A "getName" method that takes zero arguments but returns a String. It should return the name of the person.

You may submit as many times as you want. There are two ways to submit this project:

Submit through BlueJ. The lab machines are configured to automatically submit to Web-Cat - the automatic grader. To do so perform the following steps:
