The difference between paint() and repaint()
Paint():- The paint() method is called automatically whenever the window needs to be refreshed.
The programmer never calls paint() .
repaint():-Programmer calls repaint() in order to obtain a rendering.
repaint() then again call paint() to service repaint() method.
Thus the paint() method conjuction with update() method makes repaint();
Thank You.
