I'm doing an assignment for a Java class.  Basically, we have to build
constructors for a class, Television, whose attributes are  *brand* and
*price*. I have defined the constructors and accessor and mutator
methods in Television.java, and access it via TelevisionClient.java
(code for both is posted below).  Both files compile.  However when I
run TelevisionClient, it runs through the code, but my constructors,
tv0, which I assign a value in the program, and tv1, which is assigned
through dialog boxes at runtime, are the same value - in other words,
even assigning a value to one, they both have the values that are
passed in through the dialog box. I appreciate any help.
