Java Applet

[Juan Sifuentes]

I am trying to make a Java Applet Calculator. What is an applet? Do I write a normal java program and turn it into a java applet or something? or Is a applet a diffirent way to program java?

An Applet is different from a regular Java program in the sense that it runs inside the browser and can be downloaded and run.

Java Applets are basically mini applications (although they can be pretty robust) that are designed to run inside a web browser. While a regular Java Application can be ported to an Applet, it is better to write it as an Applet from the start if you know that's you want it to be. This is because all Applets must extend the Applet class. You can also extend JApplet which itself extends an Applet.

I'd recommend you start with the Applet lesson in the Java Tutorial to learn the basics of how to write an Applet.

Better suited for the Applet form.
