printing out a list of string using a for loop and a specified format












-1















so i am supposed to print out a list of string in this format. 2017/2018 , 2018/2019, 2019/2020 up until 2029/2030 in this same format, please i am stuck and have no idea how to go about it.



  public List<String> getSessions() {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int a = 0;
int b = 0;
String firstHalf = "2017";
String otherHalf = "2018";
List<String> session = new ArrayList<>();

for(int i = 0; i < 13; i++) {
a = Integer.parseInt(firstHalf) + 1;
sb.append(a);
sb.append("/");
for(int j = i; j < 13; j++) {
b = Integer.parseInt(otherHalf) + 1;
sb.append(b);
}
session.add(sb.toString());
}
System.out.println(session);
return session;
}


however it doesn't do the needed, please help me out. thanks

Not sure what you're trying to do, but you can use this to print out values :



List<String> session = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 2017; i < 2030; i++) {
session.add(i + "/" + (i + 1) + "n");
}
System.out.println(session);


You don't need to use a nested loop or even a StringBuilder.

    You do not need two for loops. Instead you can do following:



    public List<String> getSessions() {
    int a = 2017;
    int b = 2018;
    List<String> session = new ArrayList<>();
    while (b <= 2030) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.append(a);
    sb.append("/");
    sb.append(b);
    session.add(sb.toString());
    a++;
    b++;
    }
    System.out.println(session);
    return session;
    }
