Question

How to print the following series in Java:

A
B B
C C C
D D D D
E E E E E E

Answer 1

start by creating a list containing all the alphabet you want, then loop through that list and keep a counter, and for each alphabet, print it as many times as the counter. the counter increases by 1 after each print. so the first one gets printed once, the second gets printed twice, etc. I have the solution, but try writing this algorithm in java and you should have your answer. if you have trouble, post your code here and we'll work on it together :)

Answer 2

Sure... I will make a try and get back to you.. THANKS...!!!

Answer 3

No problem :)

Answer 4

Did the answer work? I am anxious to find out!

Answer 5

@pmuldowney have you tried to answer it?

Answer 6

Thanks for your guidelines.
It really helped me to solve the problem.
Thanks once again. :)

Answer 7

anytime :) you mind posting your code though? I'd like to see it :)

Answer 8

@sasogeek unfortunately I wasn't able to work it....

Answer 9

alight so here's my code for it. post yours as well and let's see what you did wrong... could learn a thing or two :)

public class alphabet
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] alphabet= {"A ", "B ","C ","D ","E ", "F ", "G ", "I ", "J ", "K "};
for (int i=0; i < alphabet.length; i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<=i; j++)
{
System.out.print(alphabet[i]);
}
System.out.println("");
}
}
}

public class alphabet
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String[] alphabet= {"A ", "B ","C ","D ","E ", "F ", "G ", "H ", "I ", "J ", "K "};
for (int i=0; i < alphabet.length; i++)
{
for (int j=0; j<=i; j++)
{
System.out.print(alphabet[i]);
}
System.out.println("");
}
}
}

Answer 11

Hey.. i wrote the 2 methods:

package midhun;

public class HelloWorld {

public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] str = {"A","B","C","D","E","F"};
int c=0;

System.out.println("METHOD 1");
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{

for(int j=0;j<=i;j++)
{
System.out.print(str[c]);
}
System.out.println("\n");
c++;
}


int counter = 1;
System.out.println("METHOD 2");
for(int h=0; h<str.length; h++)
{
for(int k = 0; k<counter; k++)
{
System.out.print(str[h]);
}
System.out.println("\n");
counter++;
}
}

}
