Homework help

[Bailey Kufner]

Hey,

I'm stuck on a question and I just need a hint on how to get the result she wants. Here's the question

Write and test a method that takes as parameter any positive integer n and prints the following.

The elements in the 1st row and column are all 1.
The elements in the 2nd row and column are all 2 (except for those in the 1st row and column).
The elements in the 3rd row and column are all 3 (except for those in the 1st and 2nd row and column).
And so on.

Example on next page.



E.g. n = 3 E.g. n = 5

1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 2 2 1 2 2 2 2
1 2 3 1 2 3 3 3
1 2 3 4 4
1 2 3 4 5

Bailey,

You can do that with the use of for loops. That is called "nested for loops" and they will be of the form:

  for(some stuff in here){
    for(some other stuff in here){
     //this is where you do the work--remember you loop for the inner and then go to the outer
    }
  }

BTW: with your 2 examples running together, I cannot actually tell just what it is that you are printing out.

if you get stuck, write the process out on paper in English, and modify it until you can walk through the description you made and create the desire outcome.
