OK here is my code to print all prime numbers less than 100 and also print the first 36 numbers in the fibonacci series. I want to change it so that the fibonacci prints 9 numbers per line and the prime numbers print in 5 per line. Im new to learning loops and nested loops and cant seem to figure this out. thanks, lee

class main
{



void fib()
{
    int n0 = 1, n1 = 1, n2; // Initialize variables
    System.out.print(n0 + " " + n1 + " "); //Print first and second terms of the series
    for (int y = 0; y < 34; y++)
    { // Loop for the next 34 terms
        n2 = n1 + n0; // Next term is sum of previous two
        System.out.print(n2 + " "); // Print it out
        n0 = n1; // First previous becomes 2nd previous
        n1 = n2; // And current number becomes previous
    }
    System.out.println(); // Terminate the line
}

void prime()
{
    int p;
    for(int i=2;i<100;i++)
    {
        p=0;
        for(int j=2;j<i;j++)
        {
            if(i%j==0)
            p=1;
        }
        if(p==0)
        System.out.print(i+" ");
    }
}



}




class hw4
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        main M = new main();



    M.fib();
    System.out.println();
    M.prime();

}


}

Have a counter in each of those methods. When you print something increase it by one. When it reaches 5 or 9, call the System.out.println(); and set it to 0.

int count = 0;
for (loop) {
    System.out.print("something ");
    count++;
    if (count==5) {
       count=0;
       System.out.println(); 
    }
}

This is where the % function is handy. If you want to print out n number per line...within the loop use System.out.print and add an if statement

if ( loopcontrolvariable % n == 0 ) System.out.println("");

in one case your loopcontrolvariable is y in the other loop it is j.

alright thanks guys i got it to work using the first method, now i have one more question. how can i right align my print out of the prime numbers? like inserting a blank space before any single digit number so it will be all right aligned.

class main
{

    void fib()
    {
        int n0 = 1, n1 = 1, n2, counter; // Initialize variables
        counter =2;
        System.out.print(n0 + " " + n1 + " "); //Print first and second terms of the series
        for (int i = 0; i < 34; i++)
        { // Loop for the next 34 terms
            n2 = n1 + n0; // Next term is sum of previous two
            System.out.print(n2 + " "); // Print it out
            n0 = n1; // First previous becomes 2nd previous
            n1 = n2; // And current number becomes previous
            counter+=1;
            if(counter % 9 == 0)System.out.println();
            
        }
     System.out.println();
        
    }
        
    void prime()
    {
        int p, counter;
       counter = 0;
        for(int i=2;i<100;i++)
        {
            
            p=0;
            for(int j=2;j<i;j++)
            {
          
                if(i%j==0)
                p=1;
            }
            if(p==0)
            {
              counter+=1;
              System.out.print(i+" ");
              if(counter % 5 == 0)System.out.println();
            }
            
        }
    }
}
class hw4
{
    public static void main(String [] args)
    {
        main M = new main();
    
        M.fib();
       
        M.prime();
    
    }
}

You can do the same thing you did from your first few printouts... but you do it before the end of the loop so every time it calls for a loop it will add a space before it prints another

System.out.print(" ");// this will give you pace

a program that prints the numbers 1 to 100 on the screen in rows of 10
numbers per line.
