so the answer already given does not fix the issue. a picture of the correct square will be linked, but there should only be a top line of underscores, and the rest of the underscores will serves as as the bottom line of one line of squares as well as the top line for the next, and the vertical bars should not be double in between, only a single bar. public static char$[][]$ getSquares$($int rows, int columns$)\{$

char$[][]$ square $=$ new char$[$rows $*2-1][$columns $*4-1]$;

$//$ Draw the top line

for $($int j $=0$; j $$ columns $*4-1$; j$++)\{$

if $($j $\%4==0||$ j $\%4==2)\{$

square$[0][$j$]=\text{'}\text{'}$;

$\}$ else $\{$

square$[0][$j$]=\text{'}\_\text{'}$;

$\}$

$\}$

$//$ Draw the lines between squares and at the bottom

for $($int i $=1$; i $$ rows $*2-1$; i $+=2)\{$

$//$ Draw the bottom line

for $($int j $=1$; j $$ columns $*4-1$; j $+=4)\{$

square$[$i$][$j$]=\text{'}\_\text{'}$;

$\}$

$//$ Clear the top line for the next row

Arrays.fill$($square$[$i$],0,$ columns $*4-1,\text{'}\text{'})$;

$\}$

return square;

$\}$

Right now this out puts this

$\_\_\_\_$

$|\_||\_||\_||\_|$

$\_\_\_\_$

$|\_||\_||\_||\_|$

$\_\_\_\_$

$|\_||\_||\_||\_|$

$\_\_\_\_$

$|\_||\_||\_||\_|$

should output this

correct picture of output is provided because the typing is hard
