Array Data Print Out

[Mark Covert]

Hi all,
"You-all" got any ideas how I can get String array data to print out in columns and rows.
I have been working on assignment one of the cattle drive, and I have this one line that looks like this:
System.out.println(" " + '\t' + args[0] );
When the array is printed, it just "vomits" everything out in one big column. How do I get the String array data to display in columns and rows?

It depends on how exactly you want! You want all the elements from the array to be printed in columnwise?
The following program takes no. of columns as an argument and prints the elements in the array in that fashion.
Have a look

public static void main(String args[])
{
String[] iarr = {"one","two","three","four","five","six","seven","eight","nine","ten"};
int val = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
for(int i=1;i<=iarr.length;i++)
{
System.out.print(iarr[i-1]+"\t");
if(i%val == 0)
System.out.println("");
}
}

Well, here is the program as it is so far:
(code deleted by Marilyn to protect future participants)
I have no idea how I would incorporate what you wrote into the code I wrote.

Ok I got it!
You mean when you give any value in the commandline, the program should print that value in row-wise hundred times?
<code>
java Hundred 10
output:
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10
</code>
Try using forloop and System.out.print statement instead of System.out.println
I can write the code here but its good if you try it on you own.
try to refer JDK API documentation for help regarding those print methods
cheers

Please note that the assignments from the Cattle Drive should really be discussed in the Cattle Drive forum, so I've moved this thread.
