Question

JAVA

How could you print a rectangle with a specific number of rows and columns, and split it into sections that each print a different inputted symbol (without using an array)?

For example, if rows = 16, columns = 10, and the sections = 4 where the three symbols = #, $, and % the following would print:

##########

##########

##########

##########

$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$

$$$$$$$$$$

**********

**********

**********

**********

##########

##########

##########

##########

Where the pattern repeats until the number of sections is met.

The input varies each time so the program must account for different symbols/ values for rows, columns, and sections.

Source Code:

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
        int r,c,s,i,j;
        Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter number of rows:"); //reading rows
        r=sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter number of columns:"); //reading columns
        c=sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter section size:"); //reading section size
        s=sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter the symbols:"); //readin the symbols
        sc.nextLine();
        String str=sc.nextLine(); // converting string of symbols into individual symbol
        char ch[]=str.toCharArray();
        int k=0;
        for (i=0;i<r;i++)
        {
            for(j=0;j<c;j++)
            {
               System.out.print(ch[k]);
            }
            System.out.println();
            if((i+1)%s==0)
            {
                k=k+1;
                if(k==ch.length)
                {
                    k=0;
                }
            }
        }
      
   }
}
