Single for-loop Into Mult Columns(JAVA)

Question

I haven an assignment for school and I'm a beginner into Java. I did the ASCII char loops like I needed to, but I want it to look pretty.

How do I make a single for-loop into multiple columns to show up on the output screen without having to scroll?

public static void main(String[] args) {
   for (int i = 32; i <= 126; i++) 
       System.out.println((char) i);
}//end main

Please explain more what you're trying to do. ASCII char loops? Is this trying to print out a table of the printable ASCII character set? — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-

@chrylis Yes kind of like a table, but I just need 3 columns to make it look pretty. I can add lines and such myself. I just can't figure out how to make it split into 3 or 4 columns. — Steven M. DeWeese

See my answer, and just adjust my 8 columns to whatever you think looks good. — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-

Instead of using System.out.println, just use System.out.print, and on each iteration through the loop, check to see whether i % 8 == 7 (or the equivalent for some other line length). If it is, print a newline; otherwise, print a tab or some spaces.
