I'm working to printout ascii art which takes two integers entered from the console then displays a rectangle or square from those two integers (the then dimensions). But the corners need to be a different symbol then the main symbol... yet the trick is that the short side has to have only 1 or 2 of the original symbols on it (due to odd or even.)
Here are two examples:
6x9:
001111100
011111110
111111111
111111111
011111110
001111100
9x6:
001100
011110
111111
111111
111111
111111
111111
011110
001100
I've gotten this far (since the console only goes from 0 to 9 right?) What would need to be added to take in account the corners? Would an If statement work or something else? And yes, I know this is only for the "square". How would I add a second dimension? Can I get some help?
class Main {
public static void printSquare(int size) {
if(size > 9) {
size = 9;
}
int line = 1;
while (line <= size) {
int width = size;
int i = 1;
while (i <= width) {
System.out.print("*");
i = i + 1;
}
System.out.println(); // Newline
line = line + 1;
}
}
}
You need to simply tell it that the three corner symbols are different.
Simple logic.
