list values in a number of steps given as a command line argument

[Shyamz1]

Hi there, i have created a program which lists sin values from a specific value to another value when given as command line argument. For example; java SinTable 0 10 90 would produce a table of sin values from 0 to 90 in STEPS of 10.
I cant get the steps of 10 to work:

int sinValue1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
int sinValue2 = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
int numberOfSteps = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);


System.out.println("-----------------------------------------");
System.out.println("| Sin Table from " + args[0] + " to "
+ args[2] + " in steps of " + args[1]
+ " |");
System.out.println("-----------------------------------------");


for (int index = 0; index < numberOfSteps; index++)
{
System.out.println("| sin(" + index + ")" + "="
+ Math.sin(index));


Any help?

Regards

Shyam

Your "for" loop only goes from 0 to numberOfSteps. Don't you mean for it to go from...sinValue1 to sinValue2 and then increment by numberOfSteps?

Yeah! Thats what i meant to do. So do i just change the int index = sinValue1?

Exactly, it should look something like:

for (int index = sinValue1; index <= sinValue2; index += numberOfSteps)
{
     System.out.println("| sin(" + index + ")" + "=" + Math.sin(index));
}
