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?

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.

//TestCode.java
public class TestCode {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        char arr[] = {'#','$','%'};
        int rows = 16, columns = 10, sections = 4;

        for(int i = 0;i<rows;i++){
            for(int j = 0;j<columns;j++){
                if(i/sections==0 || i/sections==3){
                    System.out.print(arr[0]);
                }
                else if(i/sections==1){
                    System.out.print(arr[1]);
                }
                else{
                    System.out.print(arr[2]);
                }
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
}
