Challenge Code

Draw a heart shape.

The heart shape equation is:

(x^2+y^2-1)^3-x^2*y^3=0

Use the following code and use the debug technique to find where need to fix:

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    for (double y = 1.5; y > -1.5; y -= 0.1) {
      for (double x = -1.5; x < 1.5; x += 0.05) {
        double temp = (x * x) + (y * y) - 1;
        double value = (temp * temp * temp) - (x * x) * (y * y * y);
        if (value == 0.0)// Fix me
          System.out.print(" ");
        else
          System.out.print("❤");
      }
      System.out.println();
    }
  }
}

Answer:

class Main {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
   for (double y = 1.5; y > -1.5; y -= 0.1) {
     for (double x = -1.5; x < 1.5; x += 0.05) {
       double temp = (x * x) + (y * y) - 1;
       double value = (temp * temp * temp) - (x * x) * (y * y * y);
       if (value >= 0.0)
         System.out.print(" ");
       else
         System.out.print("❤");
     }
     System.out.println();
   }
 }
}

On replit, you should run the programm first. Then, use the debugger.

Because replit use the command Debug (sh -c java-debug) to debug the running command.
