public class Rectangle
extends Object
The Rectangle class is used to create and modify Rectangle objects. A Rectangle object is an
area defined by its position, as indicated by its top-left corner point (x, y), and by its width
and its height. Be careful when you design these areas—if a rectangle is described as having its
upper-left corner at 0,0 and has a height of 10 and a width of 20, the lower-right corner is at
9,19, because the count of width and height began at 0,0.
The , , , and

changing the value of one property has no effect on the others. However, the
properties are integrally related to those four—if you change
