3.2. Some Fun Things to Try

  • Create a window with three buttons in it. Have each button print something different when clicked on.

  • Create a window with three buttons. Have the first two buttons change each other's text when pressed. The last button should allow you to exit the program.

  • Make some really big buttons and some really tiny buttons all in the same window.
