Calculation

[Nath Maniedeo]

hi, for assignment 1b, I trying to come up with a simplier calculation than this one below...any ideas?

[code removed]

then I use a for and while loop to print most of the names, and the another while loop to print the remainder...any ideas on how to make the calculation simplier or somewhere I can read how?

thanks..

True. You can use pseudocode (code in English rather than Java).

You know you have to write 100 names - that has for loop written all over it. Depending on the width of the name, figure out how many times you will write it per line (we'll call this something like "namesPerLine").

    for loop starting at zero
    {
        if the current number of names is the same as namesPerLine, 
            create a new line
        print name
    }
    

I think you shouldn't need a while loop.
