Code of applets and applications

Question

When I'm writing the beginning of the code for a application I would write:
public class whatever
public static void main (String [] args)
does this differ when writing the beginning for an applet? can i just write it like above and add the applet tags in html?
thanks for reading.

Answer 1

public class whatever extends jappletis fine, but an applet does not have a main() method.
It has a
public void init() {}
that works like a constructor (run the first time the page containing the applet is loaded)
and a method
public void start() {}
that would be similar to the main().
