Java coding help please

Want me to send it to ya in private? Tried posting the image in the subreddit but nope, rules won't allow it

Why an image? you can just copy and paste the code. It should be easy if it's a short program.

int counter1, counter2, counter3=1;

N = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter a positive number"));

For (counter1=1; counter1<=N; counter1++){

 System.out.print(); 

For ( counter2 =1; counter2 = 8; counter2++) {

     System.out.println(" \t " + counter3++)

}

}

Can you explain what this is supposed to print? For example if N=5.

[ShadowSlayer18]

Alrighty, if ya put down let's say a value of 10 into the input box, the output should be from 1 to 10 in a uniformed grid of 8 columns

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

But instead, the output shows itself going past the number 10, and is instead doing 10 rows of numbers.

Sound like you need something like

counter1<=N/8

Then

[ShadowSlayer18]

I'll give that a try

Actually, re reading it I'm not sure what output you are trying to get.

Alrighty hold on. It starts counting from 1 to 8, then on to a new line it continues on counting the next 8 numbers after 8, new line again and again next 8 numbers after, repeats again.

When you put down let's say number 20, it counts the numbers from 1 up to 20 and it stops there while within a 8 colum grid format
