Help with ASCII Drawing--For loops--if/else

[alice.li.mastriano]

Hello,
I need help with coding of the following object [Link]:

[i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh8/eretronics/parking_lot.jpg]

This is what I've tried so far, I think I have made a lot of boo-boos, needs serious editing...


// linc_size is a constant that determines the length of the drawing
int linc_size = 4;

for (int i = 1; i <= linc_size * linc_size; i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= (linc_size * 2 * 3 * 4); j++)
{
if (j <= j + linc_size * 2)
System.out.println("");
else if ((j == 1 + linc_size * 2 + 1) ||
(j == 1 + linc_size * 2 * 2 + 1 + 1) ||
(j == 1 + linc_size * 2 * 2 + 1 + 1 + 1))
System.out.println(" ");
else if ((j == 1 + linc_size * 2 + 1 + 1) ||
(j == 1 + linc_size * 2 * 2 + 1 + 1 + 1) ||
(j == 1 + linc_size * 2 * 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1))
System.out.println("|");
else
System.out.println("_");

}
System.out.println();
}

The code above is a mess, use code tags.
Having said that, here's the pseudo code:

printFirstLine();
LOOP:
  printCell(); 
  printCell();
  printNewLine();

that should produce:
 _______________ // first line
|_______|_______| // 2 cells and NL
|_______|_______| // loop
|_______|_______| // loop
|_______|_______| // loop
