NullPointerException with applets?

[Kratos321]

The following code is supposed to create an applet to convert from degrees to farenheit or vice versa.


// The "Ex11TempConvertApplet" class.
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class Ex11TempConvertApplet extends Applet
{
double inputTemp;
Label prompt,output;
TextField input;
Checkbox cToF, fToC;

public void init ()
{
setSize (150, 200);

prompt = (new Label ("Enter the temperature:"));
input = (new TextField (10));

CheckboxGroup cbg = new CheckboxGroup ();
cToF = (new Checkbox ("\u00B0C to \u00B0F", cbg, false));
// cToF.addActionListener(this);
fToC = (new Checkbox ("\u00B0F to \u00B0C", cbg, false));

setLayout (new FlowLayout (FlowLayout.CENTER));
Button b = (new Button ("Convert"));

add (prompt);
add (input);
add (cToF);
add (fToC);
add (b);


} // init method




public boolean action (Event e, Object o)
{
inputTemp = Double.parseDouble (input.getText ());
if (e.target instanceof Checkbox)
{
if (cToF.getState () == true)
{
output.setText (Double.toString (tempConvert (inputTemp, 0)));
} //end of inner if
else if (fToC.getState () == true)
{
output.setText (Double.toString (tempConvert (inputTemp, 1)));

} //end of inner else if
return true;
}
//end of outer if
return true;

}



public static double tempConvert (double temp, int convertType)
{
double convertedProduct;

if (convertType == 1)
{
convertedProduct = (5 * (temp - 32)) / 9;
convertedProduct = (Math.round ((convertedProduct) * 100));
convertedProduct = convertedProduct / 100;
}
else
{
convertedProduct = (((9 * temp) / 5) + 32);
convertedProduct = (Math.round ((convertedProduct) * 100));
convertedProduct = convertedProduct / 100;
}

return convertedProduct;

} //end of sub-method


public void paint (Graphics g)
{
// Place the body of the drawing method here
} // paint method
} // Ex11TempConvertApplet class


However, when I run the program, type a number and click on a checkbox, I get the following error:


java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help would be appreciated.

This line at Ex11TempConvertApplet.action(Ex11TempConvertApplet .java:51) suggests that the problem is on line 51 of the Ex11TempConvertApplet class . So that begs the question -- which line is this?

Nevermind, I figured it out, I actually forgot to create a text field for the output thanks anyways.
