Thread: I need to create a certain SHAPE with FOR LOOP.

This was the proposed output:

************
 ************
************
 ************
************
 ************
************
 ************

i cant do it purely with for loop i dont know if im missing something

public class Loop {
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
 
		for (int i = 1; i <= 8; i++) {
			switch(i){
			case 2:
				System.out.print(" ");
				break;
			case 4:
				System.out.print(" ");
				break;
			case 6:
				System.out.print(" ");
				break;
			case 8:
				System.out.print(" ");
				break;
			}
 
 
			for (int j = 0; j < 12; j++) {
				System.out.print("*");				
			}
			System.out.println();
		}
 
	}
 
}

Anyone else have other methods just only using forloop? please be humble with me its my first time asking a community im nervous.

Thank you bro, maybe this was the solution my professor was looking because he told me my code was too long. any other methods tho??

Actually Kevin the for loop should have the statement like this i<8.So the answer is(basically what Kevin said,only a number changed)

public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            if (i % 2 == 0) {
                System.out.println(" ************");
            } else {
                System.out.println("************");
            }
        }
    }

Another method based to kevin's answer is this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
            if (i % 2 == 0) 
                System.out.print(" ");           
            System.out.println("************");
        }
    }

Good One tho ive got some ideas of what you did. anyways your output was the other way around spaces should be in the second 4th 6th and 8th line.

Ok,you see what has to be changed.And my list and most simple idea is this

public static void main(String[] args) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
            System.out.println("************");           
            System.out.println(" ************");
        }
    }

I am aware of this acts, that lab exercise is already done , and as far as im concerned i was just asking for alternatives, sorry for that.
