How to display the output using Labels??

[Radhika Srinivasan]

This is a Math quiz program I am able to draw question & answer....... Once the user answers question below that I would like to display whether the answered answer is correct or incorrect I am unable to display that since it comes under if else loop in itemStateChanged method would any of them help me with it

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MultipleChoice1 extends Applet implements ItemListener
{
String question1 = new String("1. 7+2 = ?  a.6 b.8 c.9 d.10");
String question2 = new String("2. 9-5 = ?  a.2 b.4 c.6 d.8");
String question3 = new String("3. 144/12 = ?  a.12 b.10 c.14 d.16");
String question4 = new String("4. 5*5 = ?  a.10 b.20 c.25 d.125");
String question5 = new String("5. 2+3+5 = ?  a.7 b.8 c.9 d.10");

Font regFont = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD,16);

CheckboxGroup ques1Grp = new CheckboxGroup();
Checkbox a1 = new Checkbox("6",false,ques1Grp);
Checkbox b1 = new Checkbox("8",false,ques1Grp);
Checkbox c1 = new Checkbox("9",false,ques1Grp);
Checkbox d1 = new Checkbox("10",false,ques1Grp);

CheckboxGroup ques2Grp = new CheckboxGroup();
Checkbox a2 = new Checkbox("2",false,ques2Grp);
Checkbox b2 = new Checkbox("4",false,ques2Grp);
Checkbox c2 = new Checkbox("6",false,ques2Grp);
Checkbox d2 = new Checkbox("8",false,ques2Grp);

CheckboxGroup ques3Grp = new CheckboxGroup();
Checkbox a3 = new Checkbox("12",false,ques3Grp);
Checkbox b3 = new Checkbox("10",false,ques3Grp);
Checkbox c3 = new Checkbox("14",false,ques3Grp);
Checkbox d3 = new Checkbox("16",false,ques3Grp);

CheckboxGroup ques4Grp = new CheckboxGroup();
Checkbox a4 = new Checkbox("10",false,ques4Grp);
Checkbox b4 = new Checkbox("20",false,ques4Grp);
Checkbox c4 = new Checkbox("25",false,ques4Grp);
Checkbox d4 = new Checkbox("125",false,ques4Grp);

CheckboxGroup ques5Grp = new CheckboxGroup();
Checkbox a5 = new Checkbox("7",false,ques5Grp);
Checkbox b5 = new Checkbox("8",false,ques5Grp);
Checkbox c5 = new Checkbox("9",false,ques5Grp);
Checkbox d5 = new Checkbox("10",false,ques5Grp);

public void init()

}
public void paint(Graphics gr)
{
gr.fillRect(20,20,800,800);
setBackground(Color.pink);

gr.drawString(question1,250,100);

d5.setLocation(340,514);

gr.setColor(Color.blue);

}

I would like to know how do I use Labels to display the output which comes under this method at a particular location

 public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent e)
	{
		int numberCorrect=0;
		int score;
				
		Checkbox user1Selection = ques1Grp.getSelectedCheckbox();
		System.out.println(user1Selection);
		if(user1Selection == c1)// checks whether the answer matches
		{
		System.out.println	("Correct");//displays correct if the answer matches
		numberCorrect++; // adds 1 to the number of correct answers
		}else 
		System.out.println("Sorry! The correct answer is c \n"); // if the answer is incorrect displays the correct answer 
		

		Checkbox user2Selection = ques2Grp.getSelectedCheckbox();
		System.out.println(user2Selection);
		if(user2Selection == b2)// checks whether the answer matches
		{
		System.out.println("Correct");//displays correct if the answer matches
		numberCorrect++; // adds 1 to the number of correct answers
		}else 
		System.out.println("Sorry! The correct answer is b \n"); // if the answer is incorrect displays the correct answer 
		
	
		Checkbox user3Selection = ques3Grp.getSelectedCheckbox();
		System.out.println(user3Selection);
		if(user3Selection == a3)// checks whether the answer matches
		{
		System.out.println("Correct");//displays correct if the answer matches
		numberCorrect++; // adds 1 to the number of correct answers
		}else 
		System.out.println("Sorry! The correct answer is a \n"); // if the answer is incorrect displays the correct answer 
		

		Checkbox user4Selection = ques4Grp.getSelectedCheckbox();
		System.out.println(user4Selection);
		if(user4Selection == c4)// checks whether the answer matches
		{
		System.out.println("Correct");//displays correct if the answer matches
		numberCorrect++; // adds 1 to the number of correct answers
		}else 
		System.out.println("Sorry! The correct answer is c \n"); // if the answer is incorrect displays the correct answer 
		
	
		Checkbox user5Selection = ques5Grp.getSelectedCheckbox();
		System.out.println(user5Selection);
		if(user5Selection == d5)// checks whether the answer matches
		{
		System.out.println("Correct");//displays correct if the answer matches
		numberCorrect++; // adds 1 to the number of correct answers
		}else 
		System.out.println("Sorry! The correct answer is d \n"); // if the answer is incorrect displays the correct answer 
			System.out.println("\n You had  "+numberCorrect+" question correct.\n");// displays number of questions correct
	
		score = (numberCorrect*20);//score calculation
		if (score>=60)
		{
		// Displays the end result if the user scores >= 60 it congratulates them or if it's <60 displays better luck next time.
		System.out.println("Congratulations,you passed with a score of "+score+ "%\n");	
		}else{
		System.out.println("Sorry, your grade was  "+score+"% Better luck next time!"); 
		
	repaint();}
 }
}

Many thanks,
