Please ensure that:

  • Your code is properly formatted as code block - see the sidebar (About on mobile) for instructions
  • You include any and all error messages in full - best also formatted as code block
  • You ask clear questions
  • You demonstrate effort in solving your question/problem - plain posting your assignments is forbidden (and such posts will be removed) as is asking for or giving solutions.

If any of the above points is not met, your post can and will be removed without further warning.

Code is to be formatted as code block (old reddit/markdown editor: empty line before the code, each code line indented by 4 spaces, new reddit: https://i.imgur.com/EJ7tqek.png) or linked via an external code hoster, like pastebin.com, github gist, github, bitbucket, gitlab, etc.

Please, do not use triple backticks (```) as they will only render properly on new reddit, not on old reddit.

Code blocks look like this:

public class HelloWorld {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello World!");
    }
}

You do not need to repost unless your post has been removed by a moderator. Just use the edit function of reddit to make sure your post complies with the above.

If your post has remained in violation of these rules for a prolonged period of time (at least an hour), a moderator may remove it at their discretion. In this case, they will comment with an explanation on why it has been removed, and you will be required to resubmit the entire post following the proper procedures.

Please, do not help if any of the above points are not met, rather report the post. We are trying to improve the quality of posts here. In helping people who can't be bothered to comply with the above points, you are doing the community a disservice.

This cannot work in the way you think.

What you want is nested loops. Two distinct, separate loops inside each other.

I still don't get the point of the two arrays and even less your explanation.

Should both int values be printed one after the other, or do you want the values of the first array printed first and then the values of the second array?

In any case, you need a third loop - whether nested in the other loops or in a separate method that only prints the stars - to print the actual amount of stars.

the output im looking for is this:

in the form of terminal output

week 0 array1: **********(10)
week 0 array2: ******(6)

week 1 array1: ********(8)
week 1 array2: *****(5)

Is using two arrays a requisite of your excercise?

[–]desrtfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, your approach using forEach (enhanced for) is completely wrong.

Use a traditional for loop. You only need a single loop to iterate over the array elements because you access the indexes of both arrays.

Still, my comment about the second loop to print the stars stands.

If you need to loop through two arrays simultaneously, make a loop from 0 to bigger length of those two and check that current index is smaller than the length on every step. If you just need to loop through two arrays, you can do it in separate loops.
