Example code in Chapter 2 (Basics) produces swapped values

[baronmog]

Running the example code with the specified data produces the following output:

Ana has won 2 games and 8 sets Dave has won 2 games and 6 sets Charlie has won 1 games and 4 sets Beth has won 1 games and 4 sets

It seems that the values for won games and sets are being swapped. The following changes appear to fix the issue.

Huh. The diff doesn't really display very well.

I've fixed the formatting of the diff by prepending 4 spaces per line... will look at the actual patch soon

It turns out the program was correct, just the terminology was confusing.

I've renamed "games" to "matches" throughout the first chapter, and hope it's less surprising now.
