Fixing Print Square Error in Box Program

[courtrigrad]

Hello all

My program is trying to print out a square but it is not working. I figure something is wrong with the spacing.

 public class Box
{
  public void getBox( int a )
  {
      for( int i = 0; i < a; i++)
      {
          for( int j = 0; j < a; j++)
          {
             if( i == 0 || i == a-1)
              System.out.print("x");
             else
             if( j == 0 || j == a-1)
              System.out.print("x");
             else
              System.out.print( " " );
            }
              System.out.println( " " );
            
        }
    }
}

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks!

It should work. (In fact, it DOES work.) How are you invoking it?

How are you viewing the results? If the output is displayed in a non fixed width font, the spacing will appear wrong, even when correct.
