Module 35: Java Applet Basics

📺 What is a Java Applet?

A Java Applet is a small program that runs in a web browser. It is used to create dynamic and interactive web applications. Applets are embedded in HTML pages and run inside a Java-enabled browser.

🧩 Applet Lifecycle Methods

• init() – called once when the applet is loaded
• start() – called after init() or when returning to the page
• stop() – called when the user leaves the page
• destroy() – called when the applet is removed completely

⚙️ Basic Applet Example

                    import java.applet.Applet;
                    import java.awt.Graphics;
                    
                    public class HelloApplet extends Applet {
                      public void paint(Graphics g) {
                        g.drawString("Hello, Applet!", 50, 50);
                      }
                    }

Embed the above applet using HTML:

                    <applet code="HelloApplet.class" width="300" height="150">
                    </applet>

Note: Applets are now deprecated in modern browsers and Java versions. This is for legacy understanding only.
