Foil 35 The Simplest Java Applet: Hello, World!

From Java Language in the Computer Science Curriculum ADMI Tutorial Duluth Minnesota -- June 3 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


Java applets are part of the class hierarchy that can call methods to display on a screen (within the browser window). One way to draw on the screen is to call the method drawString from the standard method paint.
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class HelloApplet extends java.applet.Applet
{ public void paint (Graphics g)
{ g.drawString("Hello World!", 5, 25);
}
}
The import statement allows the use of methods from the Graphics class without the dot notation .
The paint method displays a graphics object on the screen - one of the standard methods that takes the place of main for applets.
Puts this as a subclass of Applet.
