A question regarding applets

Question

Hi folks, I want to ask a question regarding applets. Currently, I am following a Java tutorial on YouTube (the channel is thenewboston if you are interested). Anyway, I have come to a tutorial on applets. However, when I tried to copy the program in the video (any program actually), the compiler gave me error and it required me to write the main method. I checked at the Java complete reference book and there was no main method required too. Could you help me?

Answer 1

Quite so.
Applets are outdated. They expired in HTML4. HTML5 doesn't hqve applets

Answer 2

I checked on the comment section and someone says that applets are irrelevant nowaday. Is it true?

Answer 3

Thank you! I can move on and focus on something else now
