Trying to print a string character by character with delay between two character print

Trying to print a string character by character with delay between two

character print



I've tried with code below. please guide me where i am wrong??? The

desired output is like..

m(delay)e(delay)s(delay)s(delay)a(delay)g(delay)e.

import java.util.*;

import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

/*<applet code="MessageWithDelay" width=400 height=200>

</applet>*/

public class MessageWithDelay extends Applet implements Runnable {

Thread t;

//char msg[] ={"m","e","s","s","a","g","e"};

String str = "message";

Graphics bufferg;

Image buffer;

int counter=0,x=str.length(),i=0;;

public void init() {

//initializa the thread

t = new Thread(this);

t.start();

Dimension d = getSize();

buffer = createImage(d.width,d.height);

}

public void run() {

try {

while(true)

{

//requesting repaint

repaint();

if(counter==x)

{

Thread.sleep(200);

counter=0;

i=0;

}

else

{

Thread.sleep(400);

}

}

}

catch(Exception e) {

}

}

public void update(Graphics g) {

paint(g);

}

public void paint(Graphics g) {

if(bufferg == null) {

Dimension d = getSize();

bufferg.setColor(Color.green);

g.setFont(new Font("Comic Sans MS",Font.BOLD,36));

bufferg.drawString(str.charAt(i)+"",20,20);

counter++;

i+=1;

//update screen

g.drawImage(buffer,0,0,this);

}

}

}

I am working on command prompt and its giving me bunch of different

errors. I want to know why the errors occurring if anyone could explain me

by trying it. Thanx in advance.
