// example complete Java "Hello World" program
class HelloWorld {
  public static void main (String args[]) {
    System.out.println("Hello World!");
  }
}


// alternative complete Java "Hello World" program, as a Web-page applet
import java.awt.Graphics;
public class HelloWorldApplet extends java.applet.Applet {
  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    g.drawString("Hello World!", 5, 25);
  }
}
