JDCert Q - Applet

[vidhya Ramachandran]

Why does the given code produce runtime exception w.r.t the constructor ?
-----------
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;
public class Sample extends Applet {
private String text = "Hello World";
public void init() {
add(new Label(text));
}
public Sample (String string) {
text = string;
}

}

Hi
Provide a default constructor for the class or remove the constructor which takes the string,it works.

Java Applets are invoked by Browsers's JVM and they expect a public no-arg constructor. If you do not specify a constructor, compiler automatically adds one no-arg constructor BUT when you define your own constructor, compiler does not put any, hence the error.

Applets does not have constructors instead they have init()
