Hi there. I'm trying to figure out how to write a method that will allow me to type:
rectangleBody(9,10);

and have the console print out a rectangle 9 wide, 10 tall.

basically if i put in

rectangleBody(5,5);

i want to see:
#####
#####
#####
#####
#####

I have thus far not had any luck with this.
Any help would be appreciated

void rectangleBody(int width, int height){
// add your logic here. to print to console, use:
System.out.print("x");
}

My issue i've been having is the actual logic itself. I've got to the point where if i do rectangleBody(9, 10); i get 90 # symbols going either in a single line or 1 per line covering 90 lines.

I appreciate your answer, but my problem is that i cant figure out the logic needed to make rectangleBody(9,10) give me 10 lines each with 9 # symbols in it.
I've done some searching on methods with multiple parameters, and read through a java textbook i have but cant seem to figure this code out =(

you should've included your code in the original post.

you're gonna need 2 loops, one to handle the rows and one to handle the columns. something similar to:

Thankyou so much. pretty sure this is exactly what i needed. Just something to let me know what i am really trying to do(as lame as trying to figure out what i am trying to do sounds haha =p)

I apologize if i made this unintentionally overcomplicated, i'm pretty new to asking for help on here, but i really really appreciate your help =)

make a 2 dimensional array

Why would you use a 2D array for this?

Why 2D array? This can be done with for loop in other for loop. What is the reason to increase the complexity by adding the array even nested loop will also be there?

You are right but loops are to be used in both the cases in the same way then what is the complexity here? If you use array you can have different values at every position.


one can change the data type with ones need and if one wants to have same value at every position than it should be done without array.
