Assignment is to input text and then it prints out in the terminal as half a diamond. example:
T
TE
TEX
TEXT
TEX
TE
T
I'm really close its just the last part. Here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
// The "number 4" class.
public class number4
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter a word:");
int len = word.length ();
String SPACES = " ";
for (int i = 0 ; i < len; i++)
{
System.out.print (word.substring (0,i) + System.lineSeparator());
System.out.print(SPACES.substring(0,i));
}
String SPACES2 = " ";
for (int g = len ; g>=0; g--)
{
System.out.print (word.substring (0,g) + System.lineSeparator());
System.out.print(SPACES2.substring(g,g+1));
}
System.out.println();
} // main method
} //number 4
The problem is at: System.out.print(SPACES.substring(g,g+1));
(the last part of the half diamond)
It currently looks like this:
T
TE
TEX
TEXT
TEX
TE
T
Fixed it. Here is new code: I just had to put the Spaces.substring before the word.substring in the for loops
import javax.swing.*;
// The "number 4" class.
public class number4
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter a word:");
int len = word.length ();
String SPACES = " ";
for (int i = 0 ; i < len; i++)
{
System.out.print(SPACES.substring(0,i));
System.out.print (word.substring (0,i) + System.lineSeparator());
}
for (int g = len ; g>=0; g--)
{
System.out.print(SPACES.substring(0,g));
System.out.print (word.substring (0,g) + System.lineSeparator());
}
System.out.println();
} // main method
} //number 4
