/* Die3 class for rolling dice
 * Author: CPSC 111 Jan 2010 class
 * Date: Wed 27 Jan 2010
 *
 * When the die is rolled, it returns an integer between 1 and n with
 * random probability. 
 *
 * After our first pass, we refined our code. We saw that it was a
 * good idea to set backstop values in our constructor, so that we
 * could call roll() without having called setSides() first.
 *
 * We then specified which fields and methods were private versus
 * public. We saw how changing the name of a publicly accessible field
 * led to problems. 
 *
 * We tested this code with the RollDice and RollDice2 tester classes. 
 *
