Guys,

How would you make a method that creates a rectangle using the for loop? One that would make a blank rectangle which you can later call using the drawRect(int,int,int,int) function.

September. Another school year starts...

The deal is that you show that you've done as much of your homework as you can, and people here will help you to understand and do the rest. Everyone here has better things to do than other people's homework for them.

You could pass an array of type int and then use a for loop to read each one. Maybe the forst two array element could be the upper left corner x and y, the last two the width and height.

Just to be different, you could use the X,Y co-ordinates of two corners. Conventionally, one corner and height & width are used, but two corners works just as well.

Whichever way you do it with these parameters, using a for loop to draw a rectangle seems a bit of a stretch...

I'm with you about the for loop.
The original question seemed hokey plus there was no answer by the person who posted it. It appears to less than genuine.

It gets old seeing posts like "I'm new at java. What should I do." or "I need java to read "microsoft word" files or do "crystal reports". or "I have to write a program, how do I start."

They just drag things down to a halt.

This forum could use some moderation to dump these type of posts. It might be time to "weed the garden".
