What method will immediately stop a program?
-
System.gc()
-
System.exit( 0 )
-
System.setErr()

When should your program call repaint()?
-
Never--that is the system's job.
-
Only once when the frame is created.
-
Whenever a change has been made that should result in a new picture.
-
Always---whenever any method finishes.
Correct Answer
A. Whenever a change has been made that should result in a new picture.Explanation
The program should call repaint() whenever a change has been made that should result in a new picture. This is because repaint() is responsible for requesting the system to repaint the component, which will update the visual representation of the program based on any changes made. Calling repaint() after a change ensures that the updated picture is displayed to the user.Rate this question:

-
Insert( Component c )
-
Add( Component c )
-
Draw( Component c )

A. Add( Component c )Explanation
To place a GUI component, such as a button, into a JFrame, the correct method to use is "add(Component c)". This method is used to add the specified component to the container. In this case, the JFrame acts as the container and the button is the component being added. By using the "add" method, the button will be properly placed and displayed within the JFrame.Rate this question:

What three types of software are needed in a complete GUI program?
-
GUI Components, Event Methods, Application Methods
-
Action Events, Window Objects, Containers
-
Frames, Windows, Containers
-
Libraries, Toolkits, Interfaces
Correct Answer
A. GUI Components, Event Methods, Application MethodsExplanation
In a complete GUI program, GUI components are needed to create the visual elements of the user interface, such as buttons, labels, and text fields. Event methods are necessary to handle user interactions with these components, such as button clicks or text input. Application methods are required to perform the desired actions or operations based on these user interactions. These three types of software work together to create a functional and interactive graphical user interface.Rate this question:
