copied!<p>It is just a matter of looping through your array correctly. You need to think of it as a grid, and depending on how you look at it, determines how you print it: For example say you have a grid like, <code>char[3][4]</code> you could visualize it like:</p> <pre><code> 0 1 2 <- this would be your columns 0 | | | | 1 | | | | 2 | | | | 3 |_|_|_| ^ | this would be your rows </code></pre> <p>Or you could visualize it like this:</p> <pre><code> 0 1 2 <- this would be your columns 3 | | | | 2 | | | | 1 | | | | 0 |_|_|_| ^ | this would be your rows </code></pre> <p>So it depends on where you think the the item at <code>(0,0)</code> is located. The following example assumes that <code>(0,0)</code> is located at the bottom right:</p> <pre><code>public class BeanMachine { static final char BALL = 'O'; static char[][] slots; public static void main(String[] args) { int height = 10; int width = 5; slots = new char[height][width]; // just adding some stuff in here so we have something to print slots[0][0] = BALL; // bottom left slots[9][4] = BALL; // top right displayBoard(); } static void displayBoard() { // we need to loop through each row String columnSeperator = "|"; for (int i = slots.length - 1; i >= 0; i = i - 1) { String row = columnSeperator; for (int j = 0; j < slots[i].length; j = j + 1) { // char seems to be initialized to ' ' so we do not need to do // any checks and just add the value in the array. row = row + slots[i][j] + columnSeperator; } System.out.println(row); } } } </code></pre>
