Workshop: Handling Parameters in an Applet
The next project you'll undertake has little practical value, except perhaps as a taunting device. The ShowWeight applet takes a person's weight and displays it under several different units. The applet takes two parameters: a weight in pounds, and the name of the person who weighs that amount. The weight is used to figure out the person's weight in ounces, kilograms, and metric tons, all of which are displayed.
