Is this wrong?(Doubt in K&b, ch-1)

[Amit Batra]

The 2 minute drill of K&B ch-1 has javaBeans method's as starting with set,get,is,add or remove. but question 5 of the same chapter has only getcust, isColorado as method names which follow the javaBeans naming standard. How come option1, addSize isnt chosen?

[Naseem Khan]

The syntax of registering a listener XXXListenerType is as below:

addXXXListenerType();

e.g.,

addMouseListener() for a listener that implements MouseListener interface,

addMouseMotionListener() for a listener that implements MouseMotionListener interface.

addSize() does not follow above convention. size is not any listener. Second it does not have a suffix Listener in the end.
