Programs that Function as Applets and as Applications
The following example shows how you might write a Java® program, so that it can function either as an applet or as an application. The program can run as an applet because it inherits JApplet and it can run as an application because it has a main routine. The code c... | common_crawl_ocw.mit.edu_49 |

So far, we have seen user interface components that display static content.

1. Introduction
Java® uses a stream-based approach to input and output. A stream in this context is a flow of data, which could either be read in from a data source (e.g. file, keyboard or socket) or written to a data sink (e.g file, screen, or socket). Java® currently supports two types of streams:

Inheritance, Polymorphism and Virtual Functions
(Ref. Lippman 2.4, 17.1-17.6)
Inheritance allows us to specialize the behavior of a class. For example, we might write a Shape class, which provides basic functionality for managing 2D shapes. Our Shape class has member variables for the centroid and area. We may then spe... | common_crawl_ocw.mit.edu_55 |
