  Author  : Michael Robinson
  Program : ToolsSPClass.java
  Purpose : This is a super-class that contains multiple methods
            which perform specific jobs and can be inherited by any             
            other class.

            The methods in this class are tools which can be used
            (inherited) by other classes:

            setMyName( String )      //modifies a string 
            getMyName();             //returns a String       

            //accept variable amount of ints
            addInts( int ... items )       

            //accept variable amount of floats
            addFloats( float ... items )   

            //accept variable amount of doubles
            addDoubles( double ... items ) 

            p( Object anyKey )       //System.out.print( any Object )
            pl()                     //System.out.println()
            pl( Object anyKey )      //any Object
            pl( Object anyKey[] )    //any array of Objects

            //pauses displaying any String send by user   
            pause( String display )  

            //prints backwards any array of Objects     
            printBackwards( Object data[] ) 
 
            //returns the maximum number in the ints received       
            max( int ... data )      
            
            //returns the minimum number in the ints received
            min( int ... data )   
                                 
            //returns the average of multiple doubles
            average( double ... numbers )
