    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    Is the print out the contents of the arrays?
    To print the contents of an array on a line, use a loop and the print() statement.
    Call the println() method or add a "\n" at the end of a line when you want the next output to go on the next line.
