trouble with for loop in Java

Question

As i really like Programming and i like to program in my free time so i was trying to create a code in which the output would look like an x. Something like this.

x    x
 x  x
  x
 x  x
x    x

So i wanted the user to input the height of the "x". This is the code i have so far and i really don't know how to move on. I just need a hint or if anyone can tell me where i went wrong.

import java.util.Scanner;    
    public class x{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);
    int height;    
    System.out.print("Enter the height of the X:   " );             
    height = kbd.nextInt();
    for (int i = 1; i <= height; i++){                        
      for (int j = 1; j <= height; j++) {                            
        if(i ==j || j+i == height + 1)                               
            System.out.println("x");                            
        else                            
            System.out.print(" ");
      }
    }
  }
}

Two changes:

• change System.out.println("x"); to System.out.print("x"); (remove ln after print)

• after the two lines

      System.out.print(" ");
  }
  

  add

  System.out.println();
