Hi there,
I am new to the OO programming and I am learning it through reading other
people's codes. I spend a lot of time on finding which class does a method
come from. For example:
import java.*;
import awt.*;
import browser.*;
class new_class extends Applet implements Runnable
{
.....
public void start()
{
repaint();
}
....
}
How do I know where repaint come from? The method is not defined anywhere
in the code. I checked the API guide and could not find it on any package.
Would it be better if there is a search engine for that? Given a method
or a variable name, search all packages which has the searching target as a
method or variable or whatever.
