import java.util.Date;

public class DigitalClock extends java.applet.Applet

implements Runnable

{ Font theFont = new Font(“TimesRoman”, Font.BOLD, 24);

Date theDate;

Thread runner;

public void start ( )

{ if (runner == null)

{ runner = new Thread(this); runner.start ( ); }

}

public void stop ( )

{ if (runner != null)

{ runner.stop ( ); runner = null; }
