Its like a java sandbox.  It makes java easier, but I have to say  
that the error messages are work than regular Java since there is a  
layer of obfuscation.

Also, I think they should have used a Number object instead of ints  
and floats, since its meant for people to learn programming.   
Explaining what a float is to someone who barely does math is a pain  
in the ass.
