Okay, thanks! I just updated my question

Answer 4

I've been using netbeams for this. It's for an assingment for one of my classes. I'm just not sure how to proceed

Answer 5

I'd say maybe use a 2D array and modify that, then just print the final output as the array (but looking better).

Answer 6

I wrote a small example program here, I left some comments (I hope they help):

All in all, try and store then modify an object, instead of just printing things. It'll help in the long run, making the code a lot easier to reason about.
