That's part of my point, actually. Length might store it as an "int", 
but it would be "int inches" or "int millimeters", then it would have 
getters/setters to handle the proper unit conversions.

Unfortunately, people tend to do this instead:

int length; // length in cm.

or even just:

int length;
