Program to display rolling banner using repaint( ) method of an Applet

This is a very interesting applet program in which we are displaying a rolling banner like marquee tag in HTML. The banner message is passed in applet's <PARAM> tag.
PROGRAM
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

/*
<applet code="ParamBanner" width=300 height=50>
<param name="message" value="Java makes the Web move!">
</applet>
*/

public class ParamBanner extends Applet implements Runnable {
 String msg;
 Thread t = null;
 int state;
 boolean stopFlag;
 // Set colors and initialize thread.
 public void init() {
  setBackground(Color.cyan);
  setForeground(Color.red);
 }
 // Start thread
 public void start() {
  msg = getParameter("message");
  if(msg == null) msg = "Message not found.";
   msg = " " + msg;
  t = new Thread(this);
  stopFlag = false;
  t.start();
 }
 // Entry point for the thread that runs the banner.
 public void run() {
  char ch;
  // Display banner
  for( ; ; ) {
   try {
    repaint();
    Thread.sleep(250);
    ch = msg.charAt(0);
    msg = msg.substring(1, msg.length());
    msg += ch;
    if(stopFlag)
     break;
   } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
  }
 }
 // Pause the banner.
 public void stop() {
  stopFlag = true;
  t = null;
 }
 // Display the banner.
 public void paint(Graphics g) {
  g.drawString(msg, 50, 30);
 }
}

 OUTPUT

C:\>javac ParamBanner.java
C:\>appletviewer ParamBanner.java

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

This Java example shows how to draw smiley in an applet window using Java Applet class methods. PROGRAM import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.*; public class SmileyExc extends Applet { public void paint(Graphics g) { g.setColor(Color.yellow); g.fillOval(20,20,150,150); // For face g.setColor(Color.black); g.fillOval(50,60,15,25); // Left Eye g.fillOval(120,60,15,25); // Right Eye int x[] = {95,85,106,95}; int y[] = {85,104,104,85}; g.drawPolygon(x, y, 4); // Nose g.drawArc(55,95,78,50,0,-180); // Smile g.drawLine(50,126,60,116); // Smile arc1 g.drawLine(128,115,139,126); // Smile arc2 } } /* <applet code="SmileyExc.class" width="200" height="200"> </applet> */ OUTPUT C:\>javac SmileyExc.java C:\>appletviewer SmileyExc.java
