Thread: How to Create a Word Rectangle

Hello, I was wondering how to create the code for a word rectangle in java?

Um, I understand those methods but I don't know where to start.

Um, I am sorry, I understand the methods, really I do, this is all I have so far, could you please show me how to do it. My teacher doesn't teach us at all how to do these things and I am so stuck on how to do it, please if you can. Here is what I have so far:

package wordrectangle;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.lang.String;

public class WordRectangle {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

//Declare variables
int word, str;

//Ask the user to enter a word from a string and convert to a double
String inputWord = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word and this "
+ "program will make a word rectangle with it:");

}
}

I just don't know where they would go in my program.

Ok I'm trying to figure this out......
Here is what I have so far.... can you show me an example of what to do?

package wordrectangle;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.lang.String;
 
public class WordRectangle {
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        //Declare variables
        int count = 0;
        char firstLetter;
 
        //Ask the user to enter a word from a string and convert to a double
        String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word and this "
                + "program will make a word rectangle with it:");
 
        //Declare the length that will find the number of vowels in the sentence
        for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
        firstLetter = word.charAt(0);
        word = word.substring(1, word.length());
        System.out.println(firstLetter + word);        
            }
        }   
    }

It outputs:

computers
omputers
mputers
puters
uters

And, no that is not what I want.

How would I add it to the end?

On what line would I do that?

All I got it to work but... how would I loop it to make that word only have to right rows and columns for the specific word. Ex computers, 9 rows, 9 columns? Here is the code so far:
package wordrectangle;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import java.lang.String;

public class WordRectangle {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {

//Declare variables
int count = 0;
char firstLetter;

//Ask the user to enter a word from a string and convert to a double
String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word and this "
+ "program will make a word rectangle with it:");

//Declare the length that enable the word to be mixed up in the sentence

for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
firstLetter = word.charAt(0);
word = word.substring(1, word.length());
System.out.println(firstLetter + word);
i = word.indexOf(word);
i = word.indexOf(firstLetter);
word += firstLetter;

*/

public class WordRectangle {
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        //Declare variables
        int count = 0;
        char firstLetter;
 
        //Ask the user to enter a word from a string and convert to a double
        String word = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a word and this "
                + "program will make a word rectangle with it:");
 
        //Declare the length that enable the word to be mixed up in the sentence 
 
        for (int i = 0; i < word.length(); i++) {
        firstLetter = word.charAt(0);
        word = word.substring(1, word.length());
        System.out.println(firstLetter + word);
        i = word.indexOf(word);
        i = word.indexOf(firstLetter);
        word += firstLetter;
 
 
 
 
            }
        }   
    }

I want the program to stop when it makes a 9 x 9 rectangle. (Depending on the word, using a "computers" as an example. The program keeps running so its 9 x Inifinity.) If you could change it that would be awesome.

I'm not sure, I am lost at what to do next. Do you think you can fix the code?

Then what?
