/*
To get the contents of a cell, you first need to know what kind of cell it is (asking a string cell for its numeric contents will get you a NumberFormatException for example). So, you will want to switch on the cell's type, and then call the appropriate getter for that cell.
In the code below, we loop over every cell in one sheet, print out the cell's reference (eg A3), and then the cell's contents.
