Gui Using J Option Pane

This document provides an introduction to using JOptionPane dialogs instead of console I/O in Java programs. It outlines the key steps: 1) import the JOptionPane class, 2) use showInputDialog() to read input as a string instead of Scanner, 3) parse the string to an int or double with Integer.parseInt() or Double.parseDouble(), and 4) use showMessageDialog() to display output instead of System.out.println(). An example program is provided that calculates the average of three numbers input through dialog boxes and displays the result.

Introduction to GUI Using JOptionPane Dialogs*

How to run a simple program using JOptionPane Dialogs Instead of Console I/O (i.e. System.out.print() ) ?
Steps :1- Import the JOptionPane class.
2- Use showInputDialog() method to read Input (instead of Scanner).
3- Use method parseInt() in class Integer to convert the input to int or Use method
parseDouble() in class Double to convert the input to double.
4- Use showMessageDialog() method to display output (instead of System.out.print()).

Example:// this Program computes the Average of three ints. Using JOptionPane.

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Average {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//... Declare local variables;
int a, b, c;
int average;
String temp; // Temporary storage for JOptionPane input.
//... Read three numbers from dialog boxes.
temp = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "First number"); //
a = Integer.parseInt(temp); // Convert String variable temp
temp = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Second number");
b = Integer.parseInt(temp); // Convert String variable temp
temp = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Third number");
c = Integer.parseInt(temp); // Convert String variable temp
//... Compute the average.
average = (a + b + c) / 3;
//... Display the average in a dialog box figure 2.
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Average is " + average);
}
}
