Anonymous Program
The Anonymous program illustrates the use of anonymous inner classes.
It creates a window program with a moving button. The Anonymous() constructor uses an anonymous inner class to create an object that implements the ActionListener interface to handle the clicking of the button. This object provides an implementation of the actionPerformed() method.
Note that the button variable is declared as final.
The Anonymous() constructor also uses an anonymous inner class that extends the WindowAdapter class to handle the closing of the application window.
