Help with plotting x-y coordinates
My Assignment:
I am doing #2 which requires you to do #1.1. A point in the x-y plane is represented by its x-coordinate and y-coordinate. Design the class Point that can store and process a point in the x-y plane. You should then perform operation on a point, such as showing the point, setting the coordinates of the point, printing the coordinates of the point, returning the x-coordinate, and returning the y-coordinate. Also, write a test program to test various operation on a point.
2. Every circle has a center and a radius. Given the radius, we can determine the circle's area and circumference Given the center, we can determine its position in the x-y plane. The center of a circle is a point in the x-y plane. Design the class Circle that can store the radius and center of the circle. Because the center is a point in the x-y plane and you designed the class to derive the class Circle from the class Point. You should be able to perform the usual operation on a circle, such as setting the radius, printing the radius, calculating and printing the area and circumference, and carrying out the usual operation on the center.
My Problem: My teacher wants us to have a graph drawn (it can be text based) and when the user enters coordinates it should correctly place an '*' at that point. So, my program completely works except for the part of it putting an '*' at the coordinates entered.
I have chosen to ask the user to enter values between 1-10 and I then display 10-1 vertically and 1-10 horizontal and the I want to place an '*' at the entered coordinate. And I think it'd be best to use arrays, but I just don't know where to begin. So any help would really be appreciated.
So the output should look something like this:
The '1' is actually spaced in the program, just looks like that because I am using [quote].10
9
8
7
6 * (If the user entered 1 and 6 it would put an asterisk here)
5
4
3
2
1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Java Code:import java.util.*; public class Tester { static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in); public static void main(String[] args) { // Declare variables int loopDecision, xC, yC, rC; // Loop statement System.out.println("Enter 1 to insert your own values. " + "Enter 2 to use preset values."); loopDecision = console.nextInt(); /* If 1 is chosen then it goes into the if loop. * In the if loop the user will be able to set their * own coordinates and radius. They will then get the * area of the circle and the circumference. */ if(loopDecision == 1) { // Ask user to input values System.out.println("Enter a number 1-10 for the X coordinate."); xC = console.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter a number 1-10 for the Y coordinate."); yC = console.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter the radius."); rC = console.nextInt(); System.out.println(); // Set the Circle class. Circle p = new Circle(xC, yC, rC); // Display their entered values System.out.println("X coordinate = " + p.getX()); System.out.println("Y coordinate = " + p.getY()); System.out.println(); // These two for loops display the values on the side and bottom for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--) { System.out.println(i); } for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { System.out.print(" " + i); } System.out.println(); System.out.println("Radius = " + p.getR()); // Display the area and circle System.out.println("Area of the circle = " + p.area()); System.out.println("Circumference of the circle = " + p.circumference()); } /* In the else loop the user will be able to see * the varius functions of the program. Using preset * values assigned by me. */ else { // Set the values Circle p = new Circle(10, 3, 5); System.out.println(); // Display the starting values System.out.println("Initial x-coordinate = " + p.getX()); System.out.println("Initial y-coordinate = " + p.getY()); System.out.println(); // These two for loops display the values on the side and bottom for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--) { System.out.println(i); } for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { System.out.print(" " + i); } System.out.println(); System.out.println("Initial radius = " + p.getR()); System.out.println(); System.out.println("Now changing the values."); System.out.println(); // Set new values p.setX(5); p.setY(10); p.setR(4); // Display the new values System.out.println("X coordinate = " + p.getX()); System.out.println("Y coordinate = " + p.getY()); System.out.println(); // These two for loops display the values on the side and bottom for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--) { System.out.println(i); } for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) { System.out.print(" " + i); } System.out.println(); System.out.println(); System.out.println("Radius = " + p.getR()); // Show area and circumference with the new values System.out.println("Area of the circle = " + p.area()); System.out.println("Circumference of the circle = " + p.circumference()); } } }Java Code:class Point { // Declare variables private double x; private double y; // Empty constructor public Point() { } // Constructor with variables public Point(double x, double y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } // Used to set the new x-coordinate public void setX(double x) { this.x = x; } // Used to set the new y-coordinate public void setY(double y) { this.y = y; } // Used to display the x-coordinate public double getX() { return x; } // Used to display the y-coordinate public double getY() { return y; } }Java Code:import java.lang.*; public class Circle extends Point { // Declare variables private double r; // Empty constructor public Circle() { } // Constructor with variables public Circle(double x, double y, double r) { super(x, y); this.r = r; } // Used to set the radius public void setR(double r) { this.r = r; } // Used to return the radius public double getR() { return r; } // Calculates the area public double area() { return Math.PI*r*r; } // Calculates the circumference public double circumference() { return 2*Math.PI*r; } }

Dont you need some kind of is statement when you print?
Java Code:if (i==6)
