           3) Write a method "int inc(int x)" that returns the parameter value plus one;
           4) With a loop, apply method inc(int) on each value in data[], and print
              the return value on separate lines.

              (c) prints -1 if the input integer is not in the array, or the 
                  index value of the input integer in the array if the array contains
                  the integer.

            (b) initializes d[i][j] to 4*i + j;
            (c) uses a two-level nested for-loops to find the total value in array d[][];
            (d) prints out the total value. 

Week9 a. 3.19 Interactive command-line data input

Week11 a. Introduction to classes and objects, constructors, instance variables,
          method toString(), setter, getter, constants (TestCircle.java).
          Start with an empty class Circle and printing its objects. Then add
          private instance variable radius and constant PI, overloaded constructors
          with two usages of "this", and customize method toString(). Then getter and
          setter methods are added.

                   with another class TestClock.

            2) Clock objects can be printed in meaningful way.
