Solving a Java Problem: Countdown Rocket

[lypena35]

Hello,
I am stuck on a Java problem in my textbook. Can anyone help me? I have tried many variations to no avail thank you.

Question:Write code that prints: userNum ... 2 1 Blastoff! Your code should contain a for loop. Print a newline after each number and after Blastoff!. Ex: userNum = 3 outputs:
3
2
1
Blastoff!

My code:import java.util.Scanner;

public class CountdownRocket {
public static void main (String [] args) {
int userNum = 0;
int i = 0;

userNum = 3;

for(i=0;i<=userNum;--i){
System.out.println(userNum);
if(i==0){
System.out.println("Blastoff!");
}
}

return;
}
}

The loop should be like this.

    for (i = userNum; i > 0; --i){
      System.out.println(i);
      if (i == 1) {
        System.out.println("Blastoff!");
      }
    }

Having [m]return;[/m] at the end of [m]main()[/m] is not necessary.
