    Default Display in JOptionPane

    I have my code done, but i need to display the results with JOptionPane. Is there a way to store the result of the for loops so i can recall it with JOptionPane.showmessage()?
    thanks

     
    import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
     
    public class pyramid {
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
    		String LinesString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the number of lines: ");
    		int row = Integer.parseInt(LinesString);
     
    		int spaces = row - 1; 
    		int numPrint = 1; 
     
     
    		for(int x = 0; x < row; x++){  
    		  for(int y = 0; y < spaces; y++){  
    		   System.out.print("   ");}  
    		    for(int i = numPrint; i > 0; i--){ 
    		      System.out.printf("%3d",i);  
    		}  
    		   for(int z = 1; z < numPrint; z++){   
     
    		   System.out.printf("%3d",z + 1);  
     
    		}  
    		numPrint += 1;  
    		spaces -= 1;  
    		System.out.println();
     
    		}
    	}
    }

    Your code with its inconsistent formatting is next to impossible to read. Please go through
    Code Conventions for the Java(TM) Programming Language: Contents

    You can store each line as an element of a String array and pass the array as the message parameter to JOptionPane.showMessageDialog

    It depends if you like a JOptionPane for each iteration of the loop or not.

    If you do, I have no clue how to do the %3d with JOptionPane, but you'd

    do this:

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(Component parent, Object message, String title, int messageType);

    message Types are JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE; JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, and JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE.

    You're probably using JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE.
