Exponential Shape Program

[checkmylongboarding]

Hi, I am making a program that will display a design. I am trying to make it look like a fish. So far I have a tail and a body. I do not know how to complete the arc. Here is the code:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

package fivefifteen;
public class fivefifteen
{//start fivefifteen
public static void main(String[]args)
{//start main
int x = 0;
int y = 0;
x = 0;
y = 10;
System.out.println();
for(int i = 0; i<=10;i++)
{//start for
for(int j = 0; j<=x;j++)
{//start another for
System.out.print(" ");
}//end another for
x++;
for(int j=0;j<=y;j++)
{//start for
System.out.print("_//_");
System.out.print(" ");
}//end for
y--;
System.out.println();

}//end for
x= 10;
y = 0;
System.out.println();
for(int i = 0; i<=10;i++)
{//start for
for(int j = 0; j<=x;j++)
{//start another for
System.out.print(" ");
}//end another for
x--;
for(int j=0;j<=y;j++)
{//start for
System.out.print("_//_");
System.out.print(" ");
}//end for
y++;
System.out.println();

}//end for
}//end main
}//end fivefifteen
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
output:

_//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_ _//_

Take a piece of graph paper and design what you want the output to look like. Then go row by row and create println() statements to output each row with the chars and blanks to match the design on the graph paper.

I have already done that, but the problem is that I need to do it with for loops or do while loops. It would be pretty easy to design it line by line but isn't there an easier way to do it?

The first step is to design the output. Then figure out how to output each line of the figure starting at the top and moving down.
You have to look at each line and write some code to output it.

isn't there an easier way to do it?

Are you looking for the "Draw my figure" class? There is probably one posted somewhere. Have you tried google?
