Answer 2

The sequence of major events in the life of an applet is init(), start(), paint(), stop() and destroy().

Explanation:

• init() method is invoked only once to initialize an applet.
• start() method is used to start the applet after the init()method is invoked. It is invoked each time when browser loading or refreshing.
• paint() method is used for painting any shapes like square, rectangle, trapezium, eclipse, etc. It has parameter as ClassGraphics.  
• stop() method is invoked to stop the applet every time when browser stopped or minimized or abrupt failure of the application.  
• destroy() method is invoked only once like init() method and is used to destroy the application once we have done with our applet work.
