Thread: Nested For Loop Problem

Hello I am new in nested looping and I need help with my nested for loop assignment, Here's the instruction and what I have done so far:

Create a Java program that accepts integer input from the user. Loop the input until to the last value. Generate a power value of each value from the range of input. For odd numbers, the power value is increasing range from 1 to the last odd number. For the even numbers, the power value is decreasing starts from the total of even numbers until 1.
Example:

The value input from the user is 6.

The program displays the range with corresponding power and total.

1^1=1---------------- ODD (1x1=1)------------Power of 1 - for odd is increasing
2^3=8---------------- EVEN (2x2x2=8)---------Power of 3 - for even is decreasing
3^2=9---------------- ODD (3x3=9)------------Power of 2 - for odd is increasing
4^2=16--------------- EVEN (4x4=16)----------Power of 2 - for even is decreasing
5^3=125------------- ODD (5x5x5=125)-------Power of 3 - for odd is increasing
6^1=6---------------- EVEN (6x1=6)------------Power of 1 - for even is decreasing

The sum of ODD increasing power is: 135 ( 1+9+125 = 135) - sum all the odd results.
The sum of EVEN decreasing power is: 30 (8+16+6=30) - sum all the even results.

 int loopRange = scanner.nextInt();
             int sumOdd = 0, sumEven = 0;
 
                 for(int x = 1; x <= loopRange; x++){
                        if (x % 2 == 1){
                            int base = x;
                            int ansOdd = 1;
                            int y;
 
                            for(y = 1; y <= 3 ; y++){
                                ansOdd *= base;
                                sumOdd += ansOdd;
                        }
                        System.out.println(base + "^" + y + "=" + ansOdd);
 
                        }
                        else if  (x % 2 == 0){
                            int base = x;
                            int ansEven = 1;
                            int y;
 
                            for(y = 3; y <= 1; y--){
                                ansEven *= base;
                                sumEven += ansEven;
                        }
                        System.out.println(base + "^" + y + "=" + ansEven); 
 
                    }
                }
                    System.out.println("The sum of ODD increasing power is: " + sumOdd);
                    System.out.println("The sum of EVEN decreasing power is: " + sumEven);
        }   
}

The output is this:

 

Please enter loop range: 10

1^4=1

2^3=1

3^4=27

4^3=1

5^4=125

6^3=1

7^4=343

8^3=1

9^4=729

10^3=1

The sum of ODD increasing power is: 1415

The sum of EVEN decreasing power is: 0

But I want the output to be like this:

 

Please enter loop range: 10

1^1=1

2^5=32

3^2=9

4^4=256

5^3=125

6^3=216

7^4=2401

8^2=64

9^5=59049

10^1=10

The sum of ODD increasing power is: 61581

The sum of EVEN decreasing power is: 578
