The Graphics Class

[Everyman]

I am new to Java and I don't really know a lot about the graphics class. I have been out of school for a few days of my class and I haven't had time to do it at home because of work. Could someone please explain to me what to do and how to do it? We can start with this:

"Given g, a reference to a Graphics object, use a constant defined in the Color class to write a statement that arranges for the next drawn rectangle to be red:"

Here's the Java 6 API.
You can find the referred to classes here.
That should give you a start point.

Okay, I tried "static Color red," but that didn't work. What should I do now? I have no idea what a constant is, and I think thats what is messing me up.

[Tolls]

"didn't work" tell us nothing.
What does your code look like and what errors are you getting?

[Everyman]

Ohhh.... I got it now. MyProgrammingLab wanted me to input the answer in a certain way. This website has been giving me trouble for the past three weeks. Thanks for the links to the website. They really helped.

That's the Java API over at Oracle.
That should be one of your bookmarks if you're going to do much Java stuff...it'll be the first place people on a forum will link you to if there's any API-related questions (usually things like "how do I do XYZ with this class?").
