Start with the Loop

Here is a start on an applet that uses a loop to draw ten red circles.

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import java.awt.*;

// assume that the drawing area is 300 by 150
public class TenCircles extends JApplet
{
  final int width = 300, height = 150;

  public void paint ( Graphics gr )
  { 
    int count = ;

    while (  )
    {


      
    }

  }
}

The above program skeleton has most of what is needed. It has:

• The import statements.
• The header for the class definition.
• The important constants declared.
• The header for the paint() method.
• The nearly completed loop.

It is often a good idea to think about what you are doing one piece at a time. Often it is wise to first examine the main loop of the program.
