Reduce redundancy in nested loop.

Code:

---

for (int i = 0; i <= 4; i++){
  for (int j = 1; j <= 1; j++){
      for (int k = 9; k >= 0; k--){
        System.out.print(k);
        System.out.print(k);
        System.out.print(k);
        System.out.print(k);
        System.out.print(k);
      }
      System.out.println();
  }
}

---

The program tells me to use triply nested loops. I know there's a way to modify for (int j = 1; j <= 1; j++){ to k, so I don't have to print k x5. But I ran out of ideas. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome!

Please use [code][/code] tags so we can read your code.

First, what is the output supposed to look like? Second, your second loop doesn't do anything since it starts at 1 and ends at 1.

you can get rid of a second loop since, like states above, it's unnecessary, and just have the third loop go from 0 - 4, printing k each time through.

Yes I put the second loop in because the program won't run with only 2 loops.
And the output supposed to look like this 5 times:

99999888887777766666555554444433333222221111100000

What happens if you have loop 1 do 0 - 4
the second loop does 9 - 0,
and the third loop is 0-4, and prints each k 1 time?

Oh yeah that would work just fine. With that, now I have a print instead of 5 prints. Thanks a bunch.
