SpringLayout is a layout manager in Java that provides a way to specify component constraints using spring-like relationships. It is a flexible and powerful layout manager that can be used to create complex layouts with precise positioning and sizing of components.

Here's an example of how to use SpringLayout to create a simple calculator layout with buttons for numbers and operators:

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.SpringLayout;

public class SpringLayoutExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("SpringLayout Example");

        JButton button1 = new JButton("1");
        JButton button2 = new JButton("2");
        JButton button3 = new JButton("3");
        JButton addButton = new JButton("+");
        JButton button4 = new JButton("4");
        JButton button5 = new JButton("5");
        JButton button6 = new JButton("6");
        JButton subtractButton = new JButton("-");
        JButton button7 = new JButton("7");
        JButton button8 = new JButton("8");
        JButton button9 = new JButton("9");
        JButton multiplyButton = new JButton("*");
        JButton clearButton = new JButton("C");
        JButton button0 = new JButton("0");
        JButton equalsButton = new JButton("=");
        JButton divideButton = new JButton("/");

        SpringLayout layout = new SpringLayout();
        frame.getContentPane().setLayout(layout);

        // define horizontal springs for the first row
        Spring x = Spring.constant(10);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button1, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button1));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button2, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button2));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button3, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button3));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, addButton, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(addButton));

        // define horizontal springs for the second row
        x = Spring.constant(10);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button4, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button4));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button5, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button5));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button6, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button6));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, subtractButton, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(subtractButton));

        // define horizontal springs for the third row
        x = Spring.constant(10);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button7, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button7));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button8, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button8));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, button9, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(button9));
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, multiplyButton, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x, Spring.width(multiplyButton));

        // define horizontal springs for the fourth row
        x = Spring.constant(10);
        layout.putConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST, clearButton, x, SpringLayout.WEST, frame.getContentPane());
        x = Spring.sum(x
