For this exercise you design an applet that receives all key events, counts the number of key-press events, and displays this value in the applet's area of the browser window. The nonkey-related functionality already exists in the skeleton.

Prerequisites

Skeleton Code

Tasks


  1. To receive the key events, add the applet itself as an KeyListener target. That is, the applet should implement this interface.

  2. Define the keyPressed() method so that it calls increaseCount() to update the count instance variable and repaint() to display the current count in the applet window.

Where help exists, the task numbers above are linked to the step-by-step help page.
