Thread: JAVA for loop

hi to all..

i would like to ask if this algorithm is accepted or is it a cheat? thanks

here's my code

import java.util.*;
public class loop1
{
	public static void main (String[]args)
	{
		int x,y,limit;
 
		Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
		System.out.print("enter a limit: ");
		limit = input.nextInt();
 
		for(x=1;x<=limit;x++)
		{
			for(y=x;y<=limit;y++)
			{
				System.out.print(" "+y);
			}	
 
			System.out.println();
		}	
 
		for(x=limit-1;x>=1;x--)
		{
			for(y=x;y<=limit;y++)
			{
				System.out.print(" "+y);
			}	
 
			System.out.println();
		}	
	}
}

and the output should be like this

Hello, cheat?

I'm not sure what you are on about, could you elaborate.
