How to print off answers from For loops

[Charles Sherman]

I am writing a program that I have to take the length of a rectangle (1-10) and multiply them by the width(1-10) I am using a for loop and this is what I have so far

  public class area
  {
  public static void main(Strings args[])
  {
  int height;
  int width;
  int area;
  int i;
  int e;
  for (i=1; i>=11; i++);
  height = i;
  for (e=1; e>=11; e++);
  width = e;
  (area) = (height) * (width);
  System.out.print (area);}
}
 

the error is in line 14 and it is saying "variable height might not have been initialized."

First of all the two for loops do not make any sense.

for (i=1; i>=11; i++);
height = i;
for (e=1; e>=11; e++);
width = e;
 

If you put the semi colon at the end of the for loop, loop will be terminated it won't execute.

putting a semi colon at the end of for loop make

height = 1

So in the next loop even width will be set to 1 (Remember you placed a semi colon to the second for loop as well).

width=1;
 

So area is also 1.

Also change

public static void main(Strings args[])
 

to

public static void main(String args[])
