Hi!,
Please! anyone help me on this and If anyone read this please help me on this and I don't know what is the problem on this and here is an sample output. Please!, help me on this.

Sample Output:
Enter Month Code: 1
January

Enter Month Code: a
Letter is Not Accepted!!!


Here is the Java Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;


public class MonthApp extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
Label lmonth=new Label("Enter Month Code:");
TextField tmonth=new TextField(3);
Font large=new Font("Tahoma",Font.BOLD,15);
Button displaymonth=new Button("Display Month!!!");

public void init()
{

add(lmonth);
add(tmonth);
add(displaymonth);
displaymonth.addActionListener(this);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent AlcioAbaquita)
{
int monthcode=Integer.parseInt(tmonth.getText());
Label month=new Label("");
Label text=new Label("");
String displaybutton=displaymonth.getLabel();
switch (monthcode)
{
case 1:
month.setText("January");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 2:
month.setText("February");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 3:
month.setText("March");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 4:
month.setText("April");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 5:
month.setText("May");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 6:
month.setText("June");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 7:
month.setText("July");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 8:
month.setText("August");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 9:
month.setText("September");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 10:
month.setText("October");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 11:
month.setText("November");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
case 12:
month.setText("December");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
break;
default:
month.setText("Invalid Month Code!!!");
month.setFont(large);
add(month);
text.setText("Letter is Not Accepted!!!");
text.setFont(large);
add(text);
}

validate();
}
}

Well, you're only telling your applet to display a moth if the input is a number between 1 and 12. If the input is 'a', it does the default thing in the switch statement.

What is the program doing incorrectly? Or what do you want it to do that it is not doing?
It looks like it is working correctly.

Where are you generating your action event? I don't find anything in your code which would send a "AlcioAbaquita" message to your ActionListener.

Also - you have a lot of repeating code (all of the display stuff). Can you think of a way to decompose that?

I have restructure and enhanced this a bit. Also, I changed the logic that
repeatedly created new labels and added them, didn't look good :cool:
