Java Cardlayout: Constructors of Cardlayout Class

The CardLayout class manages components so that only one is visible at a time, treating each like a card. It has constructors to create layouts with or without gaps. Methods like next(), previous(), first(), and last() flip between cards, while show() displays a specific card by name. The example creates a CardLayout with buttons and uses action listeners and the next() method to transition between cards when the buttons are clicked.
