Java (Atom editor) question. Introduction to Computing and Programming

This is the code for the method...

public void drawCenteredLine(int length, char symbolToUse)

{

this.setSymbol('|');

this.draw(1);

this.makeSpace((40-length)/2);

this.setSymbol(symbolToUse);

this.draw(length);

this.makeSpace((40-length)/2);

this.setSymbol('|');

this.draw(1);

this.newline();

}

When I enter an odd number into the method, there isn't a space to the right. (It needs to be a total of 40 characters.) I think I need to change something in the second " this.makeSpace((40-length)/2); "

The assignment says:

If the number passed in to the method is odd, it should print one more symbol before the middle than after the middle. E.g.

jose.drawCenteredLine(15, $);

should print

| $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

Note that the line above is the | symbol, followed by 12 spaces, followed by 15 $s, followed by 13 spaces followed by the | symbol, followed by a newline (i.e. there is one more $ on the left than there is on the right).

Important notes:

You can assume that the integer passed in to drawCenteredLine will never be greater than 40, but may be 0 or 40 or anything in between.

Note that the line printed should end with a newline.

You MUST use the ASCIITurtle methods ONLY to draw this line. You may NOT include any called to System.out.println directly in your method.
