Thread: Can't adjust width of the X.

i had to draw an X shape with x's, i managed to do it but the problem is that i cant seem to figure out how to adjust the width of the "X". Can anyone help?

public class JavaApplication9
{
public static void printX(int x)
    {
        char[] chars = new char[x];
        for (int i = 0; i < x; i++) 
            {
                chars[i] = 'x';
                chars[x - 1 - i] = 'x';
                for (int j = 0; j < x; j++) {
                    if (j == i || j == (x - 1 - i)) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    chars[j] = ' ';
                }
                System.out.println(new String(chars));
            }
 
        }
    }

Current Output:
when i run the program is run i can enter the height(in this case 6)

x    x
 x  x 
  xx  
  xx  
 x  x 
x    x

I also want to adjust the width. For example:

xxx    xxx
 xxx  xxx
  xxxxxx
   xxxx
   xxxx
  xxxxxx  
 xxx  xxx
xxx    xxx

(something like that)

I tried to show all that you asked for, was it enough or do you need more detail?

If you do, here are the directions i was given:

Write a program, which can print out a letter 'X'. You, the programmer, choose the various parameters of 'X' (how tall and wide it is,
how wide its 'legs' are.) (In other words, these parameters are fixed within the program. Your 'X' will
be the same width and height each time your program is run.) Start this program on a new page.
