The method ToString() is used to convert the number to string. All the numeric data types use ToString() method for this conversion. This method allows the user to format the value such as specifying the decimal places and adding special characters to the string which is to be displayed.

The ToString() methods formats the copy of value present in the numeric variable and then returns the result as string value.

Syntax:

numericVariableName.ToString(formatString)

  • The numericVariableName is the variable name.
  • The parameter formatString is used to format the variable’s value.
    • The formatString string should be in the form of “Axx”.
      • “A” represents the build format specifier and “xx” specifies the precision of the digits.

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
