/**
*
* The resources class encapsulates all of the resources based on which the program operates.
* Each instance of JCGP contains a single instance of Resources, which gets passed to the selected
* modules as the program executes.
*
* The experiment's {@code Resources} object is passed to modules as the program operates, and
* the actual parameter values can be obtained using getter methods. Note that, for code brevity,
* this class's getters do not start with the word "get". For instance, to get the number of rows,
* one would use {@code rows()} instead of {@code getRows()}.
*
* In addition to parameters, this class also offers utility methods. Any necessary random numbers
* should be obtained using {@code getRandomInt()} and {@code getRandomDouble()}. Functions from the
* selected function set can be obtained through this class as well. Finally, printing to the console
* should be done via the resources using the report and print methods, so that these prints also
* get sent to the GUI console (if one is present).
