Explanation

The task at hand requires you to make changes to an existing program named “Comments.java”. The goal is to modify this program so that the statement about comments is displayed in a dialog box rather than in the console.

A dialog box is a graphical user interface element that is used to display important information to the user. It provides a pop-up window that allows the user to interact with the program in a more user-friendly way.

To modify the “Comments.java” program to display the statement about comments in a dialog box, you will need to add code to create and display the dialog box. There are different libraries and APIs that you can use to create dialog boxes, such as JavaFX or Swing.

Once you have made the necessary changes, it is important to save the updated program with a different name, “CommentsDialog.java”, so that you don’t overwrite the original program. This will allow you to keep both versions of the program for future reference.

In conclusion, the task requires you to modify an existing program to display information in a dialog box and save the updated program with a different name.
