Recursion in java

Question

I'm trying to accept an integer and a character. It should print out the integer that was entered and the character times the integer that was entered. Eg. if 3 and c was entered the output should be: 3 ccc. Thanks for any help.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Histogram{
public static void Histogram_Recursive(int n, String c) {
if(n==0) {
return;
}
else {
return n * Histogram_Recursive(n-1, c);
}
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner obj = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter a Number: ");
int number = obj.nextInt();

System.out.println("Enter a Character: ");
String character = obj.next();

System.out.print("\n");

System.out.print(number +" ");

Histogram_Recursive(number, character);
}
}

Answer 1

Taylor Maybe this is what you want:

Answer 2

If you want to return a value you should not use void.

public static int histogram...

But if you want to use void then you could add a print statement

At the moment I am not sure how your method works. Can you give an example with input (n & c) and the expected output?

Answer 3

Yes, you are welcome Taylor but...
You can ask If you don't understand something in my code.

Answer 4

Taylor You also need to do something with the string in your recursive method.

Thanks Kevin Star. That's exactly what I was looking for.
