I want to recreate the method drawRect with a nested for-loop

[chelseacortez]

I have absolutely no idea how to start to create a method that will draw an unfilled rect. on the picture instantiated.

The constructor of the class eats the following parameters:
int width, int height

I have the Color class imported and I use the usual parameters:
int xStartingPt, int yStartingPt, int width, int height, Color color

Please help me get started.

Can you post the code you are working on to show where your problem is?

constructor of the class eats the following parameters:

What does that mean?

A rectangle has lines on 4 sides. It's upper left corner would be at a point say x,y. Given that position, you can compute the x,y points for the other 3 corners and draw connecting lines.

import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class DrawRect extends JPanel {
    int width;
    int height;

    public DrawRect(int width, int height) {
        this.width = width;
        this.height = height;
    }

    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        int x = 50;
        int y = 25;
        drawRect(g, x, y);
    }

    private void drawRect(Graphics g, int x0, int y0) {
        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            int x = x0 + i*25;
            int y = y0 + i*25;
            g.drawRect(x, y, width, height);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.add(new DrawRect(125, 75));
        f.setSize(300,300);
        f.setLocation(200,200);
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

You left off the color
What are the hardcoded(not parameterized) values: 25 & 50 used for?

I just wanted to offer a minimal suggestion.

What are the hardcoded(not parameterized) values: 25 & 50 used for?
Some values to send off to the drawRect method which will use them to determine the origin of the first (and subsequent) rectangle(s) that it draws.
