    Exclamation Code help, timestable

    Hi People,

    This is my question:


    Write an application to:
    Print the 5 times table (5 * 1 = 5, 5* 2 =10, .. 5 * 12 = 60)
    Format of output
    5 * 1 = 5
    5 * 2 = 10
    etc.
    Hint: Write the Java code to print the line for the 4th row, use a variable row of
    type int to hold the value 3 Then using the value held in row print the
    4th line.
    4 * 3 = 20
    Enclose

    And this is my code:

    public void multTable(int n)
    {
    int m = i* n;
    String line=" ";
    if(i<=10)
    {
    line+=" "+i;
    }else{
    line+=i;
    }
    line +=" * " + n + "=";
    if(m<100)
    {
    line+=" ";
    }
    line +=m;
    System.out.println(line);
    }
    }



    But the problem is, I want it to become as 5*1 = 5 etc BUT its coming up as 0*1=0 etc... always starts with 0? how do I put a 5 instead of a 0???

    Thanks!! R x hope u can help!

    Please show what your program prints out now.
    What is it supposed to print out?
    Do you know how to code the expression to multiply a number by another number?
    theProduct = anumber * anothernumber;
    Your code does not do that any where. All I see are Strings being concatenated to one another.
    String aStr = "5" + "*" + "1"; //==> gives the String: "5*1"

    When you post code, please use the code tags to preserve its formatting. See: BB Code List - Java Programming Forums
    What you have posted is very hard to read.

    You are making this way harder than it needs to be. to print a times table you need a loop but I don't see one in your code. All you have is several confusing if statements which are not needed.
    loop (12 times) {
        print n * c = r;
    }
    Where n = the timestable you are printing (ie 5), c is a counter (1 - 12) and r is the result of multiplying n by c.
