* @author Loribb Project 8-1 wk.7 Count alligators and clone sheep
* Operation: This application uses and Alligator class that implements
* a Countable interface to display Alligator objects as shown above.
* *This application uses a Sheep class that implements a Countable
* interface and the Cloneable interface to display and clone Sheep
* object as shown above.
* Specifications: *Create an interface named Countable that can be used
* to count an object. This interface should include these methods:
* void incrementCount(); void resetCount(); int getCount();
* String getCountString();
* *Create a class named Alligator that implements the Countable
* interface. This class should include an instance variable that
* stores the count and a method that returns the formatted count.
* *Create a class named CountUtil. This class should include a static
* method that lets you count any Countable objects a specified number
* of times. For example:
* public static void count(Countable c, int maxCount)
* *Create a class named CountTestApp that uses the CountUtil class to
* count an Alligator object 3 times as shown above.
* *Create a class named Sheep that implements the Countable and Cloneable
* interfaces. This class should include an instance variable that stores
* the count and the name of the sheep, and it should provide methods
* that can set and get the name of the sheep.
* *Modify the CountTestApp class so it (a) counts the first sheep 2
* times, (b) clones the first sheep, changes the name, and counts it
* 3 times, and (c) counts the first sheep again 1 time.
