how to return items from an array to be printed diagonal

[Johnny Steele]

Hi! I'm working on a method that takes in an array called number and returns its contents to be printed in a diagonal like so:

	16
		17
			98
				97
					95
						-14
							-15
								99    

with tabs in between and each element printed on a new line.
Here is my method which is obviously very wrong but its what I have.

 	public String diagonal() {
		String done = "";
		for( int i = 0; i < number.length; i++ ) {
			for( int j = 0; i < number.length; i++ ) {
			done = done + number[i] + "\t";
		}
		return done;
	}   

Just cant figure out how to incorporate the new line into a loop or object for that matter.
Thanks,
-John
