Thread: Setting up table and converting kilograms to pounds

Hello all again,

I have a problem with my code can't seem to figure out the problem. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

public class Main {
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO code application logic here
    System.out.println("Kilo       Pounds ");
    for(int k = 1; k <= 200; k+ = 5) {
        System.out.println(" + k + "      " + k*2.2 + ");
    }
 
    }
 
}

--- Update ---

I noticed a small problem. I created a local variable int k; before the for loop. But it is still saying illegal start of an expression

Please post the entire error message as it appears on your end, copied and pasted. Sometimes important details are lost in the poster's translation.

On line 9, there is a space between '+' and '='. The operator is '+=' together.

On line 10, inside the println() method, there are multiple errors. Items between quotes are interpreted as Strings and must be concatenated with the '+' symbol. I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do in that line, but I'm guessing it might be something like:

System.out.println(" " + k + " " + ( k * 2.2 ) );

Try that line, notice how it prints, and notice the difference between it and your statement. Ask if you have questions.

Greg got it all haha but just as an esthetic advice you should use "\t" which inserts tab spaces and makes it look better instead of actually adding the spaces for divisions manually.

like this:

System.out.println("Kilo\tPounds");
 
System.out.println(k + "\t\t" + k * 2.2);

in the second println added two tab spaces to align it properly with the kilo and pounds row xD
it looks more presentable but it is up to each's preference :p

Thanks for the help again.
