Class FreeLiquid

java.lang.Object
  codesimian.FreeLiquid

public class FreeLiquid
extends java.lang.Object

contains limited amounts of many types of Liquid. Slowly distributes those liquids to whoever asks for them.

This class can not create Liquid. It can only give what it receives. Only class Liquid can create Liquid.

A string explanation must be given for what the Liquid is for, and if FreeLiquid does not accept your explanation, you will not receive the Liquid. An example explanation for Liquid type "liquidChaos" is "create random name".
