    Default Help in showing the elements

    I write this code in one class but it doesn't show any elements ( button , labels ) all elements , but when I put it in two classes one the main and another one it works fine .

    Here is the code :

    package averageprogram;
     
     
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
     
     
    public class AverageProgram extends JFrame{
    private int num = 0;
         private String userCo = "";
        private JButton[] buttons;
        private JButton btn = new JButton("Click");
         private JButton btn1 = new JButton("Calculate Average");
        private  Container cp = getContentPane();
         private  JTextField userInput = new JTextField(30);
         private  JLabel label = new JLabel("Please enter the number of Courses: ");
         private  JTextField[] userInput1;
         private  JTextField[] userInput2;
     
         private  JLabel[] label1;
         private  JLabel[] label2;
         private  JLabel label3 = new JLabel("");
          private JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          private JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
     
            private  int s1= 70;
            private int s2= 88;
            private int s3= 77;
            private double total = s1+ s2+ s3;
     
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
     
     
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("frame");
         frame.setSize(600, 400);       
            frame.setVisible(true);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setTitle("program");
        }
     
          public AverageProgram()
        {
     
             cp.add(panel);

    The code's formatting is poor making it hard to read and understand. The }s should be in the same column as the start of the statement with the pairing {

    Please post properly formatted code.

    Where does the code create an instance of AverageProgram? Is that where the missing components are?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    why I should create an instance ...
    Are all the components you are asking about defined and used in the AverageProgram class? If there isn't an instance of that class, those components won't be shown.
    When the main method is executed, it needs to create an instance of AverageProgram to build the GUI you are interested in.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    what happened with that code when you executed it?

    Look at the steps the main method did to display the (empty) JFrame. Add those steps following the creation of the AverageProgram instance.

    If I add these code in the main method
    That is not what I suggested. The main method has these statements:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("frame");    // Replace this one
         frame.setSize(600, 400);                        //  These are what is needed
            frame.setVisible(true);
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            frame.setTitle("program");
        }
    The first statement should be replaced with one that creates a new AverageProgram instance:
    AverageProgram frame = new AverageProgram();

    --- Update ---

    it show me there is error :
    When you get errors you need help with you need to copy and paste them here.

    What is the event that the changed GUI is after?
    Can you explain what was done to the GUI shown in the "before" image that led to the GUI to be what was shown in the "after" image.
    Does this happen every time that user interaction with the program takes place?

    Ok, you are talking about 2 different programs. I thought you had one program that changed its layout when it was running.

    Programs can use different layout managers in different ways to control how the components are positioned in the GUI.
    I imagine the two programs are using layout managers in different ways.

    Default Re: Help in showing the elements

    make the layout looks like in the above picture ?
    Can you post the code for the program that was used for the picture?

    Look at the tutorial about layout managers: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutor...out/index.html
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
