Introduction:
Java is a general purpose, object oriented programming language. We can develop two types of Java applications:
1. Standalone applications
2. Web applications
Standalone applications are programs written in Java to carryout certain tasks on standalone local computer. Standalone programs can read or write the data on local systems. Applets are small Java programs developed for Internet applications. Applets are located on remote systems, can be downloaded via the Internet and executed within the browser.
