classes structure

[stuckonjava]

Lets say I have to build a GUI which has a button and when the user clicks this button information is shown. Could someone explain what classes I would need because at the moment I have everything in one file and will get marked down unless all the code is structured into a set of classes and method. But I am not sure entirely what this means and how to do this.

Thanks for your time.

Write down your problem as if it were a little story, in plain English. Every noun is a good candidate for a class and every verb is a nice candidate for a method. This is not a law cast in stone but it works fine for starters.

I am confused by this, could you explain what you mean for eg if I need to build a GUI that requires the user to click on a button followed by information appearing retrieved from the internet what would the classes be?

The verb in that case wouldve been 'get' as in 'getInformation()' method.

You could have a seperate class for User if you store any info about your users.
