    Default Line Spacing

    Hello Everyone,

    I am having a problem understanding line spacing. I need to write a program that has nested FOR LOOPS to produce the following output:
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    I can get a for loop that counts down. The problem I have is using for loop for line spacing.
    Can anyone show me an example of this or explain to me in an easy way how a for loop for a line works.

    Thanks

    Show what you've tried posted properly in code tags, and we can go from there. We also need to see what the output should look like, so put that in code tags too. Code tags will preserve the spacing you need to show us.

    Is the output shown in the post the way you want it to look? Or are there leading spaces that the forum's software has removed? If there are missing spacing, wrap the output in code tags to preserve the spacing.

    To wrap your output with code tags:
    [code=java]
    THE OUTPUT GOES HERE
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Create a loop
    System.out.print(); will not make a new line, unless you add \n of course.
    System.out.println(); Will create a new line.

    Then simply right out your loop.

    There are lots of examples on google showing this. You should have no problem finding this.
