How to write BOTH row and column indexes in a table (java) - nested for loops

Question

I want to output table that shows row and column indexes [i][j] for every cell ,

I can only print i-index but don't know how to print "column" index

It should look like this: table for every column - there is indexes shown above - first horizontal line - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The code i have :

public static void print_table( int table[][] ){
    System.out.println( "PRINTING TABLE ") ;

    for(int i = 0; i <= NCHANGES; i++) {
        System.out.print("[" + i + "]") ;// this prints i-index for EVERY ROW
        for(int j = 0; j <= MAX_AMOUNT; j++) {
            System.out.print(table[i][j] + "\t") ;
            // BUT HOW TO PRINT J(COLUMN) INDEX for every column?
        }
        System.out.println() ;
    }
}

I'm sure this will be useful for all who need to print out the result of their 2-nested loops

Before doing the nested loops just make a for loop and print
- the I/J cell
- the column header cells (0, 1, 2, etc.)
- new line

Then do what you're already doing.

Something like this perhaps?

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[][] twoD = new int[][] { { 123, 456, 789 }, { 123, 456, 789 },
            { 123, 456, 789 } };

    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    for (int I = 0; I < twoD.length; I++) {
        for (int X = 0; X < twoD[I].length; X++) {
            sb.append("Row " + I);
            sb.append(" Column " + X);
            sb.append(" Value " + twoD[I][X]);
            sb.append("\n");
            System.out.print(sb.toString());
            sb.setLength(0);
        }
    }
}

Console output:

Row 0 Column 0 Value 123
Row 0 Column 1 Value 456
Row 0 Column 2 Value 789
Row 1 Column 0 Value 123
Row 1 Column 1 Value 456
Row 1 Column 2 Value 789
Row 2 Column 0 Value 123
Row 2 Column 1 Value 456
Row 2 Column 2 Value 789

Maybe this?

public static void print_table( int table[][] ){
 System.out.println( "PRINTING TABLE ") ;

 //Extra loop here
 System.out.print("I/J ");
 for (int j = 0; j <= MAX_AMOUNT; j++){
     System.out.print(j + " ");  
 }

 for(int i = 0 ; i <= NCHANGES ;i++){

   System.out.print("[" + i + "]") ;// this prints i-index for EVERY ROW

         for(int j = 0 ; j <= MAX_AMOUNT  ; j++){

      System.out.print(table[i][j] + "\t") ;// BUT HOW TO PRINT J(COLUMN) INDEX for every column?

                 }
                 System.out.println() ;
         }

 }

public static void print_table( int table[][] ){
 System.out.println( "\n\nPRINTING TABLE ") ;

 System.out.println("\t\tm") ;
  System.out.print("\n        ") ;
 for(int column = 0 ; column <= MAX_AMOUNT; column++){
           System.out.print(  column  + " \t"  ) ;
 }
 System.out.print("\n----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------") ;
 System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------") ;
 for(int i = 0 ; i <= NCHANGES ;i++){
   System.out.print("[" + i + "]:  ") ;
         for(int j = 0 ; j <= MAX_AMOUNT  ; j++){

                    System.out.print(table[i][j] + "\t") ;

                 }
                 System.out.println() ;
         }

 }

EXACTLY AS I WANTED IT! table
