Basic Applet Program in Java

This program is only for beginners in Java. Following program just gives you a gist of how an Applet must look like and what is the basic structure. There are actually five phases in an applet which are not explicitly shown here. The width and height values must be given and there are no default values which will automatically be taken by the compiler. The paint () method is the one which is capable of displaying anything onto the screen.
