Thread: Funky triple nested loop problem. (Due tonight)(Confusing)

I have this assignment that's due tonight at midnight, but I have completed all but 1 part. The second triangle, I am having problems grasping the concept of nested loops I believe, but it's part of it. Anyways, here is question then code.

Write a Java program that reads positive integer n, 1 ≤ n ≤ 13, and plots 3 triangles of size n as shown below.

For n = 4, for instance, the program should plot: (works for n = 5 and n = 6 etc.)



triangle 1

1

2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9 10



triangle 2

_ _ _ 1

_ _ 3 2

_ 6 5 4

10 9 8 7



triangle 3

_ _ _ 1

_ _ 3 3 3

_ 5 5 5 5 5

7 7 7 7 7 7 7

import java.util.Scanner;
class Loops {
 
 
    void plotTriangle1(int n) {
        int t = 1;
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            System.out.println(" ");
            for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
                System.out.printf("%3d", t++);
 
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }
 
    void plotTriangle2(int n) {
        int t = 1;
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
 
            for (int k = 1; k <= i; k++) {
 
            }
            for (int j = 1; j <= i; j++) {
 
                System.out.printf("%3d",t++);
 
            }
            System.out.println();        
        }
 
 
    } 
 
 
    void plotTriangle3(int n) {
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
            System.out.println(); 
            for(int j = 1;j <= (n-i);j++) {
                System.out.print("   ");
            }
            for (int j = 1; j <= 2*i-1; j++) { 
                System.out.print(" "); 
                System.out.printf("%3d",2*i-1);
            }
            System.out.println();
        }
    }   
}
 
public class Lab7 {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);  
        Loops myL = new Loops();
 
        int n;
 
        System.out.print("Enter n(1-13):");
        n = in.nextInt();
 
        //myL.plotTriangle1(n);
        myL.plotTriangle2(n);
        //myL.plotTriangle3(n);
 
    }
 
}

Currently compiles to this: Enter n(1-13):4
1
2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9 10

--- Update ---

Sorry for the question format of the triangles, I couldnt get the spacing to work so I used underscores to replicate the blank space on the forum. Thanks.

What problems are you having getting the program to work? Do you have any specific questions?

NOTE: Put the output in code tags to preserve its formatting.
