Very new to Java

[smiles101634]

Hello,

I'm very new to Java and my professor laid this on me on the first week of school.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Color;

public class MyDrawing_Start extends JFrame {
public MyDrawing_Start() {
add (new MyPanel());
}

public static void main (String [] args){
MyDrawing_Start frame = new MyDrawing_Start();
frame.setTitle("My drawing demo");
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOS E);
frame.setSize(250, 350);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

class MyPanel extends JPanel {

I've sat here all day trying to understand what is going on in this program and he has asked me to alter the program so that it produces multiple lines (Didn't specify how many). He want to do it as a loop. I understand how to create a loop and all but I think my main problem is that I don't get what is going on here so I don't even know where to start. Am I supposed to start the loop in the "class Mypanel extends JPanel area" area. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

sorry forgot about this whole section

class MyPanel extends JPanel {
protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);

// For color use the either the next 2 lines or g.setColor(Color.BLUE);
Color myColor = new Color(0, 0, 255);
g.setColor(myColor);
g.drawLine(10, 20, 50, 50);
}
}

What happens when you compile and execute the program?

Please edit the post and wrap the code in code tags.
