New to Java, Shape Won't Show in Console
ba.jpg
I pieced together the code from different parts of this beginners book Im using ("Big Java") and when I input it all I get is the text describing the shape.
Is it because println doesnt draw shapes, or because they wont show in the compiler's console (Im using Eclipse)? Or possibly a programming error?
Any help appreciated

System.out is a PrintStream (see PrintStream (Java Platform SE 6)) - it prints out values of primitives or uses an Objects toString method. It does not take an argument like a Rectangle and print out a Rectange to the console (except printing out what the toString() value of that object produces). You will have to do this manually using loops and characters.

Thanks for the response!
Would it be simpler to print it on a Window thing than using loops and characters? I've only been programming for 2 days.

I have no idea, since I do not know what your requirements are.Originally Posted by BulgeBracket
