Program to create an applet to display "Hello World".

Applets are small java programs that are run on a web page or java compatible web browser.

Java application programs that run on command prompt using java interpreter are called as Java console-based applications. Whereas the java applets can be transported over internet from one computer to another and run using appletviewer or any web browser that supports java. They are included in an HTML page which tells the browser which applets to load.

An applet can perform arithmetic operations, display graphics, play sounds, accept user input, create animation and play interactive games.

Every applet is created by creating sub class of Applet class. An applet is simply a Java class that extends the java.applet.Applet class. There are following steps to create an applet program by first mechanism:
  1. First of all add the following import statements:
    import  java.applet.Applet;
import  java.awt.Graphics;
  2. Define an applet subclass. Every applet must define a subclass of the Applet class. The Applet class have life cycle methods: init( ), start( ), stop( ), destroy( ), paint( ).
    public  class  HelloWorld  extends  Applet
  3. Every Applet must implement one of the following methods : init( ), start( ) or paint( ). The paint( ) method requires Graphics object as an argument, defined as follows. The Graphics class is present in java.awt package.
    public  void  paint (Graphics g) { ... }
  4. Now use the Graphics class methods like drawString( ), drawLine( ) to draw on Applet window. The complete program is shown in SOURCE CODE section.
  5. Compile the above program using java compiler. Remember that you have to define the subclass with public access specifier.
    javac  HelloWorld.java
    After that it will create a .class file by name "HelloWorld.class".
  6. Next create a HTML file and put the <APPLET> tag in it by specifying the class file name in CODE attribute as shown below.
    7. <APPLET  CODE="HelloWorld.class"  WIDTH="100"  HEIGHT="100">
</APPLET>
  7. Save the HTML file as "HelloWorldApplet.html" and use appletviewer command to load the applet viewer window.
    appletviewer  HelloWorldApplet.html
In this program, we have created two seperate file, in first file we have created applet class and in second file we have embed the <APPLET> tag in it by specifying class name. In next program we will put the applet tag in same .java file. The output of this program is, it will just display "Hello World !" on applet window. The drawString(String msg, int x, int y) is a method of Graphics class which draws the string in an applet.

 JAVA PROGRAM CODE
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.Graphics;

public class HelloWorld extends Applet {

public void paint(Graphics g) {
  
  g.drawString("Hello World !", 10, 30);
 }
}
HTML CODE
<html>

<head>
<title>Hello World Applet</title>
</head>

<body>
 <applet code="HelloWorld.class" width="200" height="200">
 </applet>
</body>

</html></pre>
</div>
</div>

Commands to Compile & Run Applet programs

 C:\>javac HelloWorld.java
C:\>appletviewer HelloWorldApplet.html

Program to define a class 'employee' with data members as empid, name and salary. Accept data for 5 objects using Array of objects and print it.

This program demonstrates you the array of objects.  Array of object  is the collection of objects of the same class. The given syntax will define an array of reference therefore assign object to individual reference in the array to declare the array of object. The syntax to define array of object is: <class-name> <array-name> [size]; For example, the following statement will define an array of object having size 6 references to the class  Box . Box b[6]; For creating an array of objects (allocating memory) you have to write down the following statements for (int i=0; i<6; i++) { b[i] = new Box(); // Assigning object to individual reference in the array. } PROGRAM import java.util.Scanner; public class Employee { int empid; String name; float salary; public void getInput() { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter the empid :: "); empid = in.nextInt(); System.out.print("Enter the name :: ");

Define a class Student with four data members such as name, roll no.,sub1, and sub2. Define appropriate methods to initialize and display the values of data members. Also calculate total marks and percentage scored by student.

In this program, first we first create a class  Student  which have data members  name, roll_no, sub1, sub2  and one method to read data here  getdata( )  method and show the result here  show( )  method. We have used  java.io.BufferedReader  class to read data from keyboard at runtime. Then we have created an object of Student class in  StudentDemo  class and called the methods of Student class. When you compile the code using  javac StudentDemo.java  command two .class files will be created which are  Student.class  and  StudentDemo.class , this has the advantage that you can reuse your .class file somewhere in other projects without compiling the code again. You can create as many classes as you want but writing many classes in a single file is not recommended as it makes code difficult to read rather you can create single file for every class. You can also group classes in packages for easily managing your code. PROGRAM import java.lang.*; import java.io.*; class Student {

Program to input age from user and throw user-defined exception if entered age is negative

An  Exception  is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time. Exceptions are run time errors. Exceptions generated by the Java are related to the fundamental errors that violate the Java language constraints. All exception classes are subtypes of the  java.lang.Exception  class. The exception class is a subclass of the  Throwable  class. Java defines several exception classes inside the standard package  java.lang . Some examples of exceptions are  ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException, NumberFormatException, ClassNotFoundException,etc. When Java Interpreter caught an error such as divide by zero, the interpreter creates an exception object and throws it to inform that an error has occurred. Java has its own exception handling mechanism. It performs the following task: Find the problem –  Hit  the exception Inform that an error has occurred –  Throw  the exception Receives the error infor
