Explanation of Program

The provided Java code is a basic implementation of a Notepad Application using the Swing
library. Below is a detailed explanation of its components:

1.Import Statements

 Javax.swing.*: Provides classes for creating the GUI components like JTextArea,
JMenuBar, and JFrame.
 Java.awt.event.*: Allows handling user interactions (like clicking buttons or menu
items).
 Java.io.*: Facilitates file handling operations (read/write files)

2. Class Declaration

 The class BasicNotepad extends JFrame, making it a Swing-based GUI application.

 Implements ActionListener to handle user events like menu item clicks.

3. Instance Variables

 JTextArea: A text area where users can write or edit text.

 JMenuBar: The top menu bar of the application.
 JMenu: The "File" menu within the menu bar.
 JMenuItem: Menu options like "New", "Open", "Save", and "Exit".

4. Constructor

The constructor BasicNotepad() initializes and sets up the application:

 Frame Setup:Sets the title, dimensions (800x600), and default close operation for the
application window.
 Text Area:Initializes a JTextArea and wraps it in a JScrollPane for scroll
functionality.
 Menu Bar and Menu:Creates a JMenuBar and adds a JMenu labeled “File”.
Adds menu items (“New”, “Open”, “Save”, “Exit”) to the menu.
 Event Handling:Registers the current instance (this) as the event listener for each
menu item.
 Finalization:Adds the menu bar to the frame and makes the frame visible.

5. Event Handling

The method actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) handles user interactions:

 New:Clears the JTextArea content to start a new file.
 Open:Displays a dialog asking for the file name.
Reads the file using BufferedReader and displays its content in the text area.
Displays an error if the file doesn’t exist or cannot be opened.
 Save:Displays a dialog asking for the file name.
Writes the text area content to the specified file using BufferedWriter.
Displays success or error messages based on the outcome.
 Exit:Exits the application using System.exit(0).

6. Main Method
The main method creates an instance of the BasicNotepad class, launching the application.

7.Key Features of the Code

 Graphical User Interface (GUI): Built using Swing components (JFrame,

JTextArea, JMenuBar).
 File Handling:BufferedReader and BufferedWriter are used for reading and writing
text files.
 Event Handling:ImplementsActionListener to perform actions when menu items are
clicked.
 User Interaction:UsesJOptionPane dialogs for file name inputs and error messages.
 Lightweight Design:A simple text editor with essential features for basic file
management.

This program serves as an excellent example of integrating GUI development, event

handling, and file I/O in Java.
