Java Array Question

Question

I'm trying to create a triangle where empty cells have spaces and non empty cells have X's.

public static char[][] Triangle(int size) {
    char[][] triangle = new char[size][size];

    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        Arrays.fill(triangle[i], '_');
    }

    for (int rows = 0; rows < size; rows++) {
        for (int columns = 0; columns < rows + 1; columns++) {
            triangle[rows][columns] = 'T';

        }
    }

    return triangle;
}

Somethings not working though. Not sure what it is? Edit: I found a fix and made the changes above.

Answer 1

You didn't specify the column size in declaration.

Answer 2

You should add an if-clause within the 2nd loop. For example

if (rows == columns)

will put X on the main diagonal. I don't know what's your exact condition, but add it there.

(Also, use curly brackets, especially with nested constructs - it makes it more readable and less error-prone)
