Thread: Noob Question: How to add spaces between each print

So this is currently my code, I want it to add 3 spaces between each number printed.

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Addition
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
 
        int number1;
        int number2;
        int number3;
        int number4;
        int number5;    
 
        System.out.print( "Please enter your first integer: " );
        number1 = input.nextInt(); 
 
        System.out.print( "Please enter your second integer: " );
        number2 = input.nextInt(); 
 
        System.out.print( "Please enter your third integer: " );
        number3 = input.nextInt(); 
 
        System.out.print( "Please enter your fourth integer: " );
        number4 = input.nextInt(); 
 
        System.out.print( "Please enter your fifth integer: " );
        number5 = input.nextInt(); 
 
       System.out.print( number1 );
       System.out.print( number2 );
       System.out.print( number3 );
       System.out.print( number4 );
       System.out.print( number5 );
 
    }
}

You can use the escape sequence "\t" if you want.

or you can combined them into one System.out and just add blank strings in between or "\t"

System.out.print(number1 + "\t" + number2 + "\t"....number5

or

System.out.print(number1 + "  " + number2 + "  " + ....number5

Okay thanks let me try this!

--- Update ---

Furthermore on that question (still learning a bit here, new to this code) what if they only had the option to type in one series of numbers, and i wanted it to separate each number with 3 spaces?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Addition
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );

int number1;

System.out.print( "Please enter your first integer: " );
number1 = input.nextInt();



System.out.print( number1 + " " );



}
}

Try it and see what happens.
