    Default Drawing triangle by using for loops.

    Hi all,

    A few days ago I solved a problem in which I had create the figure shown below:

    Screenshot4.PNGScreenshot4.PNG

    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.applet.Applet; 
     
    public class driehoek extends Applet {
     
    	public void paint(Graphics g) {
    		int x, y; 
    		for(y=0; y<10; y++)
    			for(x=0; x<y; x++)
    				g.drawRect(20*x, 20*y, 10, 10); 
    	} 
    }

    However, because I have some difficulty understanding for loops and recursion I tried to create the figure shown below:

    Screenshot5.png

    and this is my code:

     
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.applet.Applet;
     
    public class gekkeDriehoek extends Applet {
     
    	public void paint(Graphics g) 
    	{
    		int x, y; 
     
    		for(y=0; y<10; y++)
    		{
    			for(x = 9; x<y; x--)
    			{
    				g.drawRect(x*20, y*20, 10, 10); 
    			}
    		}
     
    	}
    }

    This code, however, returns a blank screen.
    Does any of you see what my error is?

    Does any of you see what my error is?
    Look at the second for loop. When is the continue clause ever true?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
