Draw a continuous wave

Question

What can I do to make the wave go vertical, rather than horizontal, based on how many times the user wants it go based on his input?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Wave {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Enter how long you want your wave to go: ");
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
int x = s.nextInt();

for (int i = 0; i < x; i++) {
System.out.print("* *");
System.out.print(" * * ");
System.out.print(" * * ");
System.out.print(" ** ");
}

}
}

Answer 2

Use System.out.println as method
"println" prints each string in a new line while "print" prints in same line

Answer 5
