Answer:
class Main {
public static void fillTable(int [][] t, int or, int oc) {
for(int r=0; r<t.length; r++) {
for(int c=0; c<t[r].length; c++) {
t[r][c] = Math.max(1+Math.abs(r-or), 1+Math.abs(c-oc));
}
}
}
public static void dumpTable(int [][] t) {
for(int r=0; r<t.length; r++) {
for(int c=0; c<t[r].length; c++) {
System.out.printf("%3d", t[r][c]);
}
System.out.println();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
int origin_row = 3;
int origin_col = 2;
int[][] table = new int[5][4]; // rows|cols
fillTable(table, origin_row, origin_col);
dumpTable(table);
}
}
Explanation:
Above program does not contain input handling and exception handling, but it does contain the cleverness of calculating the cell values. I'm hoping you can add the input handling yourself?
