Counting numbers up and down

[radio]

Hi my name is John,

basically i try to write a program that can print this
2
3
4
5
4
3
2
1

but the i can print from 1 to 5 and i dont know how to go from 4,3,2,1 etc...

Code:

/** 
 * Write a description of class Counting here.
 * @author (your name)
 * @version (a version number or a date) 
 */

public class Counting
{    
    // instance variables - replace the example below with your own
    public int z = 5;    
    /**     
     * Constructor for objects of class Counting 
     */
    public Counting()
    {
        for (int x = 5; x >=1; x--)
        {
            for (int y = 1; y<=5; y++)  
            {
                System.out.println(y);
            }
            System.out.println(x);
        }     
    }
        
      public static void main(String [] args)
      {
          Counting ncounting = new Counting();
      }
}

i am very new to java, a help would be greatful.

thanks in advance

reverse the for loop

Code:

		for (int i = 5; i >= 0; i--) {
			System.out.println(i);
		}

Being new to java doesnt mean that you cant spend a little time thinking, or actually attempt to solve the problem:

Code:

public class Counting {
	// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
	public int z = 5;

	/**
	 * Constructor for objects of class Counting
	 */
	public Counting() {
		for (int y = 1; y <= 5; y++) {
			System.out.println(y);
		}
		
		for (int x = 5; x >= 1; x--) {
			System.out.println(x);
		}
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Counting ncounting = new Counting();
	}
}
