    Default Format Problems

    I am trying to make it say feet meters meters feet, but instead it just says feet meters then enters the data and then starts the meter to feet. There are only two columns and I am trying to have four.

    I have to keep both methods and I just can't figure it out I know you can do a for loop within a for loop, but I can't get that to work either.

    public static void main(String[] args)
        {
            // Assign Variables
            double meter = 0;
            double foot =  0;
            double x;
            double y;
     
            //Header for meters to foot
            System.out.println(" Feet              Meters");
     
            //for loop to call meter method and print out table
     
            for(x = 1; x <=10; x++)
            {
                meter = footToMeter(x);
                System.out.printf("%5.1f%20.3f" , x, meter);
                System.out.println();
            }
     
            //Header for foot to meters
            System.out.println("Meters               Feet");
     
            //for loop to call foot method and print out table
            for(y = 20; y <= 65; y = y+5)
            {
                foot = meterToFoot(y);
                System.out.printf("%5.1f%20.3f" , y, foot);
                System.out.println();
            }
        }
     
        //Converts from feet to meters
     
        public static double footToMeter(double foot)
        {
          return 0.305 * foot;
        }
     
        //Converts from meters to feet
        public static double meterToFoot(double meter)
        {
           return 3.281 * meter;
        }
    }
