Nested FOR loops are often used to produce DESIGNS:

// Isosceles Right Triangle (made with capital letters) char outer, inner; for (outer = 'F' ; outer >= 'A' ; outer--) {       for (inner = 'A' ; inner <= outer; inner++)      {            System.out.print(inner);       }       System.out.println( ); }

ABCDEF ABCDE ABCD ABC AB A

// Rectangle comprised of x's int rows, col; for (rows = 0; rows < 4; rows++)  {       for (col = 0; col < 12; col++)       {            System.out.print("x") ;       }      System.out.println( ); }
