COMPILER DESIGN

Detailed explanation-1: -An applet is a small application designed to run within another application. While the term “applet” is sometimes used to describe small programs included with a computer’s operating system, it usually refers to Java applets or small applications written in the Java programming language.

Detailed explanation-2: -Applets are small programs that are downloaded into a Java Enabled Web Browser, like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The browser will execute the applet on the clients machine.

Detailed explanation-3: -A Java applet is a java program that is launched from HTML and run in a web browser. When a Java technology-enabled web browser processes a page that contains an applet, the applet’s code is transferred to the client’s system and executed by the browser’s java virtual machine (JVM).

Detailed explanation-4: -Applet is a graphic program that runs inside a web browser, using the web browser’s Java plug-in JRE. Applet is embedded in an HTML page (in much the same way as images, audios, videos and other programs are embedded in an HTML file). To run an applet, you need to create a HTML file, which embeds the applet.
