is there anyone there can xplain this piece of coding for me as i am newbiez in java?thanks a lot.

This is a C++ programming board incase you forgot
I sometimes go on a board at www.javaranch.com

Code:

import java.awt.*;   //import statements include other classes into this code piece
import java.applet.*;

public class acceptvalues extends applet   //create a public class named acceptvalues which is also an applet. (btw, applet should be Applet)
{
  Textfield textfield; //create a text box
  public void init(); //duh...
  {
    textfield=new textfield(10); //textfield is 10 characters long (i think)
    add(textfield); //not sure
  }
  public void paint(Graphics g)  //everytime the applet needs to be repainted
  { // like when you restore a window with the applet in it, or you drag a window across the applet
    g.drawstring("The value is:",100,100);  //draw graphical text at 100,100
  }
  public boolean action(Event event,object arg) // for mouse clicks, etc..
  {
    repaint();  
    return true;
  }
}

i'm no java expert
