1  Program 4 Instructions, CS101, Prof. Loftin

Write a Java applet which draws 50 parallel horizontal line segments whose endpoints all border a circle of radius 250. To be more specific, let i be a loop variable which goes from 0 to 49, and consider y=10i+5. Then the points
(250 -
Ö
 

2502 -(y-250)2
 
, y) and (250 +
Ö
 

2502 - (y-250)2
 
, y)
are both on the circle of radius 250 centered at (250,250). The line segment between these two points is horizontal, since both points have the same y coordinate. As i varies from 0 to 49, 50 parallel line segments are drawn, spaced 10 pixels apart. Here is a link to my solution.
Hints: Use a for loop and the square root function from the Math class. Note the drawLine method from the Graphics class takes int values. So any quantities involving square roots will have to be cast from type double to type int.

2  Program requirements

Turn in your Java applet code named Program4.java to Blackboard. Be sure to import the correct library files, and that your code works as an applet (as opposed to an application).

3  Viewing your applet on the web

First, you should create a directory called public_html in your pegasus account. To do this, type mkdir public_html at the pegasus prompt.

To test your applet on the web, put a file called testProgram4.html in the public_html directory of your pegasus account. In other words, on pegasus, type cd public_html to get into the public_html directory. Then type emacs testProgram4.html to edit the file. The file testProgram4.html should contain the following html code:

 <html>
 <head>
 <title>Testing Program4 Java applet</title>
 </head>
 <body>
 <applet code="Program4.class" width="500" height="500">
 </applet>
 </body>
 </html>

To test your Program4.java code, make sure your file Program4.java is in your public_html directory, then compile it there (using javac) to make a Program4.class file.
Then you can send your web browser to
http://www.pegasus.rutgers.edu/~loginname/testProgram4.html
to see your Java applet. (Here loginname should be replaced with your pegasus login name.)
When you make updates to your applet code, you may need to close and re-open your browser to make the modifications show up.

Since you will have to access and create different directories on pegasus, it may be a good idea to try the UNIX tutorial here.

4  Extra Credit

Note the above code draws 50 horizontal line segments whose endpoints are on the circle of radius 250 and center (250,250). Make the following modifications to the applet code:
To apply for the extra credit portion, still just turn in a Program4.java file for your applet into Blackboard. Here is a link to my solution.
