I am having a problem with this java program






/** this program
* makes the astrixes
* go down the side!
*/


import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Graph {

public static void main( String args[] )
{
int c;
String s1;
int x;

s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter an integer:" );
c = Integer.parseInt( s1 );



do {
System.out.println(x * "*"); /* I want this to have "x" astrixes, but it yells at me until I take the x* out */
c=c-1;
x=x+1;
} while ( c>0 );
}

}

Instead of that SOPln line, make it as follows.

for (int i=x, i>0, i--)
{SOP("*");
SOPln();}
//Make sure its inside the do statement, just cut and paste. It should work.

Dr Edit adds: Whoops, heheh misread your program. Ends up the number of stars increase until it stops! Ain't that silly? So yea, I'm not sure how to fix this, good luck with your programation.

I ended up going with this for a while


/** this program
* makes the astrixes
* go down the side!
*/


import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Graph {

public static void main( String args[] )
{
int c;
String s1;
int x;
x=1;

s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter an integer:" );
c = Integer.parseInt( s1 );



do {
System.out.println(x+"*");
c=c-1;
x=x+1;
} while ( c>0 );
}

}




but then I fixed it:


/** this program
* makes the astrixes
* go down the side!
*/



import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Graph {

public static void main( String args[] )
{
int c;
String s1;
int x;
int y;
x=0;
y=0;


s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter an integer:" );
c = Integer.parseInt( s1 );



do {
while (y>0){
System.out.print("*");
y=y-1;
}
System.out.println("*");
c=c-1;
x=x+1;
y=x;

} while ( c>0 );
}

}

Newb, that's great. Only one thing wrong with it. You double posted. Why don't you use the edit button and make it one long post?
