Oh Rocket Tree

Back to the Program-A-Day homepage

Problem Evergreens are a great pointy companion around the holidays. Or in the middle of July really. Today your going to draw one with text on the console using System.out. If you despise the idea of Christmas trees, imagine it's an awesome rocket ship!		By Students People either love or hate 'shapes questions'. You?
Solution Remember the outer for loop always determines the height of the shape. In this case the tree has an extra line, so the outer for loop will be something like for (int i = 0; i<=TREE_HEIGHT; i++). Also, remember that you only have to print the spaces to the left of the tree. HINT: this tree has a star on the top, giving it 6 rows, even though the TREE_HEIGHT is set at 5.       * *** ***** ******* ********* *********** ^^^ And that's enough of a rocket tree for my liking. For an extra little challenge, try putting a trunk / thrusters on that bad boy.
Code Solution Code // Put this in a file named RocketTree.java public class RocketTree{ public static void main(String args[]) { //note: tree width of bottom 'branches' should be twice tree height int TREE_HEIGHT = 5; char c = '*'; for (int a = 0; a <=TREE_HEIGHT; a++) { // Make some inital space for (int i = 0; i<=TREE_HEIGHT - a; i++){ System.out.print(' '); } for (int i = 0; i<=a*2; i++){ System.out.print(c); } System.out.println(); }//close outer for //draw trunk for (int i = 0; i<=TREE_HEIGHT-1; i++){ System.out.print(' '); } for (int i = 0; i<=2; i++){ System.out.print('^'); } }//close main }//close class
