电影院座位安排

Question

I'm wondering if anyone can help me, Im trying to create a simple cinema seating arrangement, where the x's are seats take and the o's are free. Problem is I cant seem to get the 0's to start where the X's finish. I'm new to java so what you see is the extent of my ability so far. Thanks for any help you can give at all!

public class Exercise4iv {

    public static void main(final String[] args) {

        int seats, taken, available, i, k;

        seats = 50;
        taken = 28;
        available = seats - taken;
        i = 0;
        k = 0;
        while (i <= taken) {
            i++;
            System.out.print("\t X");
            if (i % 8 == 0) {
                System.out.println();
            }
        }

        while (k <= available) {
            k++;
            System.out.print("\t O");
            if (k % 8 == 0) {
                System.out.println();
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

if (k % 8 == 0) {

if you change this to

if ((k+taken+1) % 8 == 0) {

then it should correctly know when to print a newline

Answer 2

change second while loop to:

while( i<seats){
    i++;
    System.out.print("\t O");
    if(i%8==0) System.out.println();}
}

this way the variable k is not required
