Start with the Loop

import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.*;

// assume that the drawing area is 300 by 150
public class tenCircles extends Applet
{
  final int width = 300, height = 150;

  public void paint ( Graphics gr )
  { 
    int count = _________________;

    while ( _________________ )
    {


      _________________
    }

  }
}

Let us write the program by using a loop. Remember, it is often a good idea to think about what you are doing one piece at a time. When there is a loop in a program, it it often helpful to start with it. Here is a skeleton of the program:

This skeleton has most of what is needed. It has:

• The import statements.
• The header for the class definition.
• The important constants declared.
• The header for the paint() method.
• The loop nearly completed.

This is quite a bit to start with, and should not be ignored.
