Program/Source Code

Here is source code of the Java Program to create a banner. The program is successfully compiled and tested using javac compiler on Fedora 30. The program output is also shown below.

  1. /*Java Program to Create a Banner using Applet*/
  2. import java.applet.*;
  3. import java.awt.*;
  4. public class Banner extends Applet implements Runnable
  5. {
  6.     String text = " Sample Banner ";
  7.     Thread t;
  8.     //Initialize the applet
  9.     public void init()
  10.     {
  11.         setBackground(Color.white);
  12.     }
  13.     //Function to start the thread
  14.     public void start()
  15.     {
  16. 	t = new Thread(this);
  17. 	t.start();
  18.     }
  19.     //Function to execute the thread
  20.     public void run()
  21.     {
  22.         while(true)
  23. 	{
  24. 	    try
  25. 	    {
  26. 	        repaint();
  27. 		//Delay each thread by 1000ms or 1 seconds
  28.                 Thread.sleep(1000);
  29. 		//Shift the first character of banner text to the last postion
  30.                 text = text.substring(1) + text.charAt(0);
  31. 	    }
  32. 	    catch(Exception e)
  33. 	    {
  34. 	    }
  35. 	}
  36.     }
  37.     //Function to draw text
  38.     public void paint(Graphics g)
  39.     {
  40. 	g.setFont(new Font("TimesRoman",Font.BOLD,15));
  41. 	g.drawString(text,200,200);
  42.     }
  43. }
  44. /*
  45. <applet code = Banner.class width=500 height=500>
  46. </applet>
  47. */

To compile and run the program use the following commands :

>>>javac Banner.java
>>>appletviewer Banner.java
Program Explanation

1. Create an object of the Thread class and start it. To start a thread it is required to implements the Runnable interface.
2. Delay the thread by using Thread.sleep(int) with time mentioned in milliseconds.
3. Shift the first character to the last to creating a moving banner.
4. Repaint the applet.
