What is update method called?

• The update() method is defined by the AWT and is
  called when your applet has requested that a
  portion of its window be redrawn. The problem is
  that the default version of update() first fills
  an applet with the default background colour and
  then calls paint(). You can override the update()
  method. The paint() in this case will simply call
  update().
  
  public void update(Graphic g) {
  //Redisplay your window here.
  }
  
  public void paint(Graphics g) {
  update(g); // call to the update()method.
  }
