import java.awt.*;
public class webpage extends java.applet.Applet
{
        int x = 10 , y = 10;
        public void update(Graphics g)
        {
                paint(g);
        }
        public void paint(Graphics g)
        {
                setFont(new Font("TimesRoman",Font.BOLD,20));
                g.drawString("abc" , x++ , y++);
        }
}
/* THIS PROGRAM SHOULD DISPLAY THE STRING "ABC" AT
(11,11). BUT SINCE I HAVE SET THE FONT IN
THE PAINT METHOD , IT GOES IN AN INFINITE
LOOP , AND DISPLAYS THE STRING "ABC" AT
DIFFERENT INCREMENTING LOCATIONS.

IF I HAD CALLED THE PAINT METHOD USING A
THREAD , THEN THE THREAD'S SLEEP DURATION
WOULD HAVE NO EFFECT AS THE PAINT METHOD
IS IN AN INFINITE LOOP.

THE PROBLEM IS MAINLY BECAUSE I HAVE SET
THE FONT IN THE PAINT METHOD.
