CS 1083 : Print Text Patterns

The Patterns Class

Tasks

Write a program that prints

Project 1 written by YOURNAME 

and calls two methods:

Print a triangle pattern described below. This method should ask the user for the width of the pattern, and then print the corresponding pattern.

The user should also specify the number of rows and columns in the boxes. This method should ask the user to enter the number of boxes, number of rows, and number of columns and then print that many text boxes horizontally, each box with the specified numbers of rows and columns.

Here is an example of what your output should look like (user input is in bold and underlined):

Enter width of pattern: 9 

 /|\ 

 //|\\ 

 ///|\\\ 

////|\\\\ 

Enter number of boxes: 3 

Enter number of rows: 4 

Enter number of columns: 7 

+-----+ +-----+ +-----+ 

| | | | | | 

| | | | | | 

+-----+ +-----+ +-----+

[6 Points] If your program has a method that correctly prints the triangle pattern.

[1 Points] For prompting the user for the width and inputting the value from the user.

[5 Points] For for-loops that correctly print the pattern (the correct number of lines and the correct number and location of spaces, slashes, vertical bars, and backslashes on each line).

[10 Points] If your program has a method that correctly prints a sequence of text boxes horizontally.

[3 Points] For prompting the user for the number of boxes, rows, and columns and inputting the values from the user.

[4 Points] For for-loops that correctly print the middle lines of the boxes (the correct number of lines, the correct number and location of vertical bars, the correct number and location of spaces inside and outside the boxes). .

[4 points]
