Thread: I'm new at this and can't figure it out

My code is this
public class temp
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

for (int i = 1; i <= 4; i++)
{
for (int j = 1; j <= 6; j++)
{
System.out.print((i*j)*4-3 + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
I'm getting:
1 5 9 13 17 21
5 13 21 29 37 45
9 21 33 45 57 69
13 29 45 61 77 93

The output should be:
1 5 9 13 17 21
2 6 10 14 18 22
3 7 11 15 19 23
4 8 13 16 20 24

Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Please help
Thanks,
Jeff

Can you describe the algorithm that should be used to generate the desired output?
The comments in your code are not very helpful.

I is the row and J is the column.It appears in java that the columns get printed first because that's the inner loop. I'm trying to get it to look like this:
1 5 9 13 17 21
2 6 10 14 18 22
3 7 11 15 19 23
4 8 13 16 20 24

Can you describe the algorithm that should be used to generate the desired output?

i hope this can help you, i just program it and its look the same with the output of what you want.

for(int i =1; i<=4;i++)
{
for(int j =1; j<=6;j++)
{
System.out.printf("%3d", (i * j) * 4 - 3 );
}
System.out.println();
}
