problem about calling paint method

I have created a class to ask user input 3 floating-point numbers, using JApplet. the code list below

import java.awt.Graphics;

import javax.swing.*;

public class Numbers

{

double average,sum,product;

String result;

public void init()

{

String firstNumber,secondNumber,thirdNumber;

double num1,num2,num3;

firstNumber=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("enter first number");

secondNumber=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter second number");

thirdNumber=JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter thrid number");

num1=Double.parseDouble(firstNumber);

num2=Double.parseDouble(secondNumber);

num3=Double.parseDouble(thirdNumber);

sum=num1+num2+num3;

product=num1*num2*num3;

average=(num1+num2+num3)/3;

result="";

if(num1<num2 && num2><num3)

result=result+num3+" is the largest number";

if(num2>num1 && num2>num3)

result=result+num2 +" is the largest number";

if(num1>num2 && num2>num3)

result=result+ num1+" is the largest number";

}

public void paint(Graphics g)

{

super.paint(g);

g.drawString("sum is"+sum,25,25);

g.drawString("product is"+ product,25,40);

g.drawString("average is"+ average,25,60);

g.drawString(" the largest number is"+result,25,80);

}

}

however, after I compiled, it gave me the error message as:

java:40: cannot resolve symbol

symbol : method paint (java.awt.Graphics)

location: class java.lang.Object

super.paint(g);

^(pointer should point to the dot)

don't know why,
