I am in Java 1 and my assignment is to ask the user to input a choice between (S)quare (T)riangle and ©ircle. The correct shape would then appear in ASCII art form. i was allowed to try something else. I want to draw the shape outside of the console using Graphics.

Erros = Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException
at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:909)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1530)
at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1463)
at drawingshapes.DrawingShapes.main(DrawingShapes.java:52)

I am new to java and i think my reach extends my grasp on this. I have searched for example codes via google and honestly i dont understand what im looking for.

The statement causing the error message at line 52 is wrong but easily fixed. Change line 52 to:

String drawType = input.next();

You have a good start on this. Don't give up and good luck!

You do not want an applet AND a frame

Quote

A Java applet is a special kind of Java program that a browser enabled with Java technology can download from the internet and run.

I suggest you change your JApplet to a JFrame

Normally you would add a JPanel to the JFrame, then on your JPanel you override the paintComponent method. The paintComponent method allows you to do all of your custom paint

I'm sure there are a couple of tutorials on this site on how to do this
