Howdy Pardner. I have some observations.
1.import java.lang.*; is unnecessary.
2. The Graphics class does not contain these methods:
g.fillSquare(25,25,25,25);
g.fillTriangle(10,10);
g.fillRect(25,25,25,25); will draw a square.
fillPolygon(Polygon p) may help with drawing a triangle.
3. Your method names are confusing. Naming conventions make programs more understandable by making them easier to read. "white" for instance is not a good name for a method.
4. How to ask questions the smart way.

Roberto,
The methods fillSquare and fillTriangle do not exist. What JDK are you using for compling this code?
Are you getting any specific error while executing this code?
