a stop method which may be executed anytime, usually when the applet is not immediately visible Java program a Java-compatible Web browser an init methodparameters which are passed from the HTML file to the applet when the applet is loadedA program that adheres to certain conventions that allow it to run within a Java-enabled browseran instance of Applet class, JApplet class or one of their subclasses
applet viewer        Appletstype on the command line:
appletviewer file:///fileName
where fileName is a URL or the path to an HTML file		      allows you to run applets in an html file outside a web browser      the Java Development KitJava program     0 or 1 name  readable by humans
applicationusing a Java interpreter to load the application's main class file - this is normally done from the command-line prompt using the java tool from the SDK    one or more classes  How Java Workstype java and the class file name (without its extension) on the command line
