6What have you tried doing? Also asking for book recommendations is off-topic – UnholySheep Mar 19 '17 at 10:49

Use `print` instead of `println`. – luk2302 Mar 19 '17 at 10:51

Read some java basics, here are some personal recommendations,
- Thinking in Java, by Bruce Eckel
- Head First with Java
- Java for Dummies
- Effective Java by Joshua Bloch
and ofcourse,
you can always refer to Java documentations, https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/
If someone have some more options, please feel free to edit the post.

public class PrintSymbol
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//++row or prefix increment because of better loop performance
//print * while row <=5
for(int row=1;row<=5;++row)
{
System.out.print("*");
}
}
}
about the book that you are saying please buy a book entitled "Java Programming" by Joyce Farrell, she is a great university teacher and her book is on point for the beginner

you can use very code
for example
for(byte row = 1 ; row <= 5 ; row++)
System.out.println("*");
or
for(byte row = 1 ; row <= 5 ; row++)
System.out.print("*\n");

2And yet you managed to provide a wrong answer, which doesn't respect Java naming conventions, and is not idiomatic at all. – JB Nizet Mar 19 '17 at 10:57

The edit is still wrong. And if you feel the need to add *"your Questions is so easy!!!"* then you probably shouldn't be writing an answer at all. Basic questions like these should be closed and OP redirected to proper tutorials – UnholySheep Mar 19 '17 at 11:01

Execute it, and you'll see that it doesn't generate one row and 5 columns, but 1 column and 5 rows. – JB Nizet Mar 19 '17 at 11:18
