Controlling User Inputs

I have generated an ascii chart from 0-127; however, I don’t know how to group these numbers into columns depending on how many columns the user wishes.

Ex:If the user wishes 6 columns
1 2 3 4 5 6
7 8 9 10 11 12
Ex:If the user wishes 3 columns
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12

What I have so far...any help would be appreciated...

Code:

---

public class Practice05
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
      Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
      int num_group;
     
      System.out.println("How Many Groups?");
      num_group = input.nextInt();
     
        for (int x = 0; x<128; x++)
        {
            System.out.printf("%C %X %d\n", x, x, x );
               
        }
    }
}

So the question you ask the user is how many columns, correct?

If the user wants 6 columns, use a conditional to print a "\n" after every 6 characters printed.

I would use a nesting of two for loops, the first for each row and the second for loop for each column. Inside I'd use printf to print out one column's worth of information. Don't forget to add a System.out.println after the inner for loop though to advance to the next row.

Also, I've added code tags to your post. To learn how to do this yourself, please see the link in my signature.

Much luck and welcome to Java-Forums.org!

This is the approach I am trying to take ; however, I'm having a hard time with actually writing it. How would I implement the user input into the condition?

Thank you!

You've already got code to get the user input. You simply use that number as the upper bound in one of your for loops and 300/userNumber for the other for loop. Experiment with it and find out what works. That's half the fun of programming.

ASCII defines only 128 code points, the values in the range [0, 127].
