KeyListener Interface
 In Java, KeyListener Interface is under java.awt.event
package.
 This interface is used when the state of the key is
changed.
 It has 3 methods which are as following:

1. public abstract void keyPressed(KeyEvent e);

2. public abstract void keyReleased(KeyEvent e);

3. public abstract void keyTyped(KeyEvent e);

Example:
In this example, we are using keylistener interface to handle
key events that can be key release, typed etc. see the below
example.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class KeyListenerDemo1 extends Frame implements
KeyListener
{
Label kL_l;
TextArea kL_area;
KeyListenerDemo1(){
kL_l=new Label();
kL_l.setBounds(20,50,500,20);
kL_area=new TextArea();
kL_area.setBounds(20,80,300, 300);
kL_area.addKeyListener(this);
add(kL_l);
add(kL_area);

public void keyPressed (KeyEvent e) {
