What is the role of the `stop()` method in the applet life cycle?
The `stop()` method allows the applet to pause all activities, but it does not release resources.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. While `stop()` pauses the applet, itâ€™s also a good practice to release resources like threads in this method.
Can you describe what happens to applet resources when `stop()` is invoked, and why it's important?
