    Default For loop help!

    Hi,

    I'm new to Java and I have a homework assignment where I'm unable to do this code.

    Q.)Write a program called RectanglePattern.java with a main method. The program prompts for the height and width of a rectangle (you can assume that the user always enters a positive number), and prints out the corresponding number rectangle as shown in the sample run.

    Sample run of the program:

    Enter the width of the rectangle: 5
    Enter the height of the rectangle: 4

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

    So far I have this:

    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class RectanglePattern {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);

    System.out.print ("Enter the width of the rectangle : ");
    int width = sc.nextInt();

    System.out.print ("Enter the height of the rectangle : ");
    int height = sc.nextInt();

    for (int i = 1; i<=width; i++) {
    System.out.print ("1 ");

    }

    System.out.println (" ");
    for (int j = 1; j <=height; j++) {

    System.out.println ("2 ");
    }


    }


    }

    I figure there has to be a nested loop somewhere here, but I can't figure how.

    Print height rows (outer). For each print out width numbers (inner). In between each row the value that gets printed increases.
