triangle

[Shyamz1]

Hi guys, i'm trying to print a triangle (which is taken from a command line argument) so that its longest row is at the top and the right hand side straight.

I'm guessing another loop is required:

public class PrintTriangleMirror
{
  public static void main(String [] args)
  {
    int height = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    
    for (int row = 1; row <= height; row++)
    {
      for (int column = 1; column <= row; column++)
        System.out.print("[_]");
	
    
     System.out.println();
    }
  }
}

Any suggestions?

Kind regards

Shyam

So do you have any suggestions on how to flip the triangle. I know another for loop is required... and you can think about the spaces.

So you can use a for loop... but i dont what to include in it.

kind regards

You marked the wrong thread as solved and haven't used code tags yet.... :)

Yeah i know sorry, and i have edited the code and use code tags if you may look :). i used code and /code

How about having two inner for loops in a row, one to print spaces, the other to print your lines:

outer loop -- loop through the rows
   inner loop 1
      print spaces
   end inner loop 1

   inner loop 2
      print "_"
   end inner loop 2

   println
end outer loop
