I am trying to print a 2d array of periods in Java, however, I can not get the formatting correctly. I am able to create a similar layout NOT using a 2d array. However, I will need to be working with a 2d array to finish the project. I have tried using Arrays.deepToString();
but did not find it useful.
My goal is to have a 20x20 grid of periods like this: ** Without the S and the X
My way without using a 2d array:
for (int i = 20; i >= 1; i--) {
for(int j = 1; j <= 20; j ) {
System.out.print(" .");
}
System.out.print("\n");
}
My try using a 2d array:
final int rows = 20;
final int columns = 20;
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i ) {
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j ) {
board[i][j] = ".";
}
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(board));
}

Put the two together?...
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int rows = 20;
final int columns = 20;
String board[][] = new String[rows][columns];
for (int row = 0; row < board.length; row ) {
for (int col = 0; col < board[row].length; col ) {
board[row][col] = ".";
}
}
display2Darray(board);
}
public static void display2Darray(String[][] arr) {
for (int row = 0; row < arr.length; row ) {
for (int col = 0; col < arr[row].length; col ) {
System.out.print(arr[row][col]);
}
System.out.println();
}
}

You have to print your 2D array outside outer loop
but you print this 2D array result outside inner loop
. After that you have to remove bracket
and comma
through java replace() method.
Here down is modified code:
import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
final int rows = 20;
final int columns = 20;
String board[][] = new String[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i ) {
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j ) {
board[i][j] = ".";
}
}
System.out.print(Arrays.deepToString(board).replace("],", "\n")
.replace(",", "")
.replace("[[", " ")
.replace("[", "")
.replace("]]", ""));
}
}
Output:
