Confused? Need help - Artisann - 04-03-2018

So for my assignment it needs to look like this
[Image: 6ega0wo.jpg]

heres my code for the assignment
Client:
Spoiler:
Code:
// Use this client to help test your Rectangle class for Lab13
// Download it into the same folder as your Rectangle.java file.
// Add other tests if you want to.
public class RectangleClient {
  public static void main( String[] args ) {

     // to make sure validation is working,
     // try each of the following commented statements, one at a time
     //Rectangle crash1 = new Rectangle( 0, 5 );
     //Rectangle crash1 = new Rectangle( 4, 0 );
     // Rectangle crash1 = new Rectangle( 0, 5, 'O', '^' );
     // Rectangle crash1 = new Rectangle( 4, 0, 'O', '^' );
     Rectangle box1 = new Rectangle( 4, 5 );
     box1.setIndent(-1);
     //box1.setLength(0);
     //box1.setWidth(0);
     System.out.println( box1 );
     Rectangle box2 = new Rectangle( 6, 12, '+', 'X' );
     box2.setIndent( 5 );
     System.out.println( box2 );
     Rectangle box3 = new Rectangle( 11, 20, '$', 'o' );
     box3.setIndent( 20 );
     System.out.println( box3 );
  }
}
And then the class
Spoiler:
Code:
//Using rectangle class to test

public class Rectangle {
public double length;
public double width;
public char fill = ' ';
public char pen = '*';
public int indent;

//Set variables
public void setLength(double len){
if (len <= 0){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid length for Rectangle object");
}
else{
length = len;
}
}
public void setWidth(double wid){
if (wid <=0){
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid width for Rectangle object");
}
else{
width = wid;
}
}
public void setPen(char c){
pen = c;
}
public void setFill(char c){
fill = c;
}
public void setIndent(int n){
if (n < 0){
indent = 0;
}
else {
indent = n;
}
}
//Get variables
public double getLength(){
return length;
}
public double getWidth(){
return width;
}
public double getIndent(){
return indent;
}

//Main method
public Rectangle (){
int count = 0;
String indents = "";
String topBottom = "";
String middle = "";
     String line = "";
//Creates the indent string
while (count<indent){
indents = indents + " ";
count++;
}
//Top boarder and bottom one
count = 0;
while (count<width){
topBottom += pen;
count++;
}
//Fill inside square
width = width - 2;
count = 0;
while (count<width){
middle += fill;
count++;
}
//Prints square
line = pen + middle + pen;
count = 0;
while (count<length){
if (count == 0 || count == length - 1){
System.out.println(indents + topBottom);
count++;
}
else{
System.out.println(indents + line);
count++;
}
}
  }
  // using default or set fill and boarder      
public Rectangle (double l, double w){
int count = 0;
String indents = "";
String topBottom = "";
String middle = "";
     String line = "";
//Creates the indent string
while (count<indent){
indents = indents + " ";
count++;
}
//Top boarder and bottom one
count = 0;
while (count<w){
topBottom += pen;
count++;
}
//Fill inside square
w = w - 2;
count = 0;
while (count<w){
middle += fill;
count++;
}
//Prints square
line = pen + middle + pen;
count = 0;
while (count<l){
if (count == 0 || count == l - 1){
System.out.println(indents + topBottom);
count++;
}
else{
System.out.println(indents + line);
count++;
}
}
  }
  //To set values without using .setWidth etc  
public Rectangle (double l, double w, char p, char f){
int count = 0;
String indents = "";
String topBottom = "";
String middle = "";
     String line = "";
//Creates the indent string
while (count<indent){
indents += " ";
count++;
}
//Top boarder and bottom one
count = 0;
while (count<w){
topBottom += p;
count++;
}
//Fill inside square
w = w - 2;
count = 0;
while (count<w){
middle += f;
count++;
}
//Prints square
line = indents + p + middle + p;
topBottom = indents + topBottom;
count = 0;
while (count<l){
if (count == 0 || count == l - 1){
System.out.println(topBottom);
count++;
}
else{
System.out.println(line);
count++;
}
}
  }
}

the error im getting is its not adding the indents and the random Rectangle@2ff4f00f

I figured out the answer to my question for anyone that was wondering I forgot the toString() method and moved the printing process in the toString() logic
code:
Spoiler:
Code:
public String toString(){
   int count = 0;
   String indents = "";
   String topBottom = "";
   String middle = "";
   String line = "";
   // Creates the indent string
   while (count < indent) {
       indents += " ";
       count++;
   }
   // Top boarder and bottom one
   count = 0;
   while (count < this.width) {
       topBottom += this.pen;
       count++;
   }
   // Fill inside square
   this.width = this.width - 2;
   count = 0;
   while (count < this.width) {
       middle += this.fill;
       count++;
   }
   // Prints square
   line = indents + this.pen + middle + this.pen;
   topBottom = indents + topBottom;
   count = 0;
   while (count < this.length) {
       if (count == 0 || count == this.length - 1) {
           System.out.println(topBottom);
           count++;
       } else {
           System.out.println(line);
           count++;
       }
   }
   return name;
  }
