Description
1. Create, using NetBeans, a complete Java program called (PatternMaker) according to the following
guidelines.
The program prompts the use for five input values: an integer value between 1 and 10 (inclusive) for
the number of rows to be printed, a second integer value between 1 and 10 (inclusive) for the number
of columns to be printed, a string value for the starting string of the pattern, a string value for the
second string of the pattern, and a string value that separates the first two strings.
The program must use nested for loops to print a rectangular array of
alternating
first and second
strings of the pattern, separated by the separator string and such that the first string in the first row
uses the “first string” provided by the user, but
each subsequent row alternates the starting string
between the “second string” the user provided and the “first string” the user provided.
Use methods to accept the user input and to generate the program output. Your main program should
consist simply of a few variable declarations and method calls.
So, for instance, if the user enters 5 for the number of rows, 7 for the number of columns, and “XX”
for the first string, “OO” for the second string, and “***” for the separator, your program should print
the following rectangular pattern.
XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX
OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO
XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX
OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO
XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX
Thoughts:
*) Note the requirement for this program to use nested for loops
*) Note that there is no delimiter at the end of the lines.
2. Export your project from NetBeans as a zip file (File → Export Project → To ZIP
