How to Print Table element in Sequence?

Question

Trying to print table element sequentially in console. Code given below please help:

    import java.util.List;
    import org.openqa.selenium.By;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
    import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
    import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
    import io.github.bonigarcia.wdm.WebDriverManager;
    
    public class Softwaretestingo {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    
        //Webdrivermanager to open chromebrowser
    
                WebDriverManager.chromedriver().setup();
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://softwaretestingo.blogspot.com/2020/09/static-table.html");
        driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table"));
        List<WebElement> rows=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table//tr"));
        System.out.println(rows.size());
        List<WebElement> cols=driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table//th"));
        System.out.println(cols.size());
        List<WebElement> rd = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table//td"));
        System.out.println(rd.size());
        
                //itrate throgh the table elements 
    
                for(WebElement e : cols)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getText());
        }
        for(int i = 1 ; i <= cols.size() ; i++)
        {
            List<WebElement> thiteration = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table//th"));
            for(WebElement e2 : thiteration)
            {
                System.out.println(e2.getText());
            }
            List<WebElement> tditeration = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//Table//td"));
            for(WebElement e1 : tditeration)
            {
                System.out.println(e1.getText());
            }
            Thread.sleep(3000);
           }
         }
       }

Output as per the above code:

Refer the simplified code below:

import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.get("https://softwaretestingo.blogspot.com/2020/09/static-table.html");

        // Get all the table rows from the table
        List<WebElement> allRows = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@name='BookTable']//tr"));

        // And iterate over them and get all the cells
        for (WebElement row : allRows) {
            List<WebElement> cells = row.findElements(By.tagName("td"));

            // Print the contents of each cell
            for (WebElement cell : cells) {
                System.out.println(cell.getText());
            }
        }
    }

Console output:

You need to make 2 significant adjustments as follows:

You need to upgrade Selenium version from 4.9.1 to 4.10.0 so you won't explicitly need WebDriverManager as Selenium Manager being fully integrated is invoked transparently by the Selenium bindings when no browser driver is detected on the PATH or no third party driver manager is being used.
You can use java-8 Stream interface to achieve your task easily as follows:

Code block:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--start-maximized");
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://softwaretestingo.blogspot.com/2020/09/static-table.html");
System.out.println(driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("table[name=BookTable] td")).stream().map(element->element.getText()).collect(Collectors.toList()));

Console Output:
