I did an exercise in one of my books to get this output. We are supposed to use nested loops and basic java. I could not format the output in here but the code below produces the correct output. I got it to print the correct output but I feel like it is very redundant, mainly with the loops regarding the * and spaces if you have a better method for doing this please share!
private static void printDesign(){
int astrickStopper = 1;
int slashStopper = 1;
for (int lines = 1; lines <= 7; lines++) {
for (int firstAstrick = 6; firstAstrick >= astrickStopper; firstAstrick--) {
System.out.print("*");
}
for (int spaces = 1; spaces <= slashStopper; spaces++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int forwardSlash = 6; forwardSlash >= slashStopper; forwardSlash--) {
System.out.print("//");
}
for (int backSlash = 1; backSlash < slashStopper ; backSlash++) {
System.out.print("\\\\");
}
for (int spaces = 1; spaces <= slashStopper; spaces++) {
System.out.print(" ");
}
for (int secondAstrick = 6; secondAstrick >= astrickStopper; secondAstrick--) {
System.out.print("*");
}
astrickStopper = astrickStopper + 1;
slashStopper = slashStopper + 1;
System.out.println();
}
}
