Question

Write a Java program that will be able to generate the sample table below.

Answer 1

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?
