Not understanding a step about alignment apparently

[Ansmeon Kamen]

Hi there from the first posting of a new person.I'm making a program that outputs a bunch of ASCII code.After some major help (since I have no prior experience with Java) there is a step I particulary don't know how to tackle.

It's saying that each group of small columns will be 8 chars wide and properly aligned for values less than 6.What does that mean when you got something like this?.

import java.util.Scanner;

/*

import java.util.Scanner;public class Lab1 {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
            Scanner usernum=new Scanner (System.in); 
       
       System.out.print("enter number of groups "); 
       int userInput = usernum.nextInt(); 
       System.out.print("ASCII 1-127\n"); 
       for (int groups=0; groups<=127; groups=groups+1){ 
            String dec=Integer.toString(groups); 
            String hex=Integer.toHexString(groups);  
            char ascii=(char)groups; 
            System.out.print(dec+" "+hex+" "+ascii+"    "); 
            if ((groups % userInput)==0) {
                System.out.print("\n");
            }
       }
       System.out.print("\n");
    }
    
}

If anyone has more questions about this I'll gladly reply because besides documentation I'm almost done.

Welcome to the Ranch
Please indent your code correctly; you appear to have an import followed immediately by the name of the class. You should have two new lines inbetween.
I am not quite sure what you are looking for, but it is probably a job for formatting, which you can read about in the Java Tutorials, here and here.
