I looked everywhere for help but I feel a bit stupid right now because I can't implement what I see online into my code. The button is taking up the entire frame and I don't know what to do since I'm just a beginner, would appreciate some help please!

Will post the code in the thread

  1. frame.setVisible(true) should be the last statement in your constructor.
  2. Add a LayoutManager. Ohterwise components like the button are placed on top of other components and always appear as full size.
