In this article, we will discuss how to print n natural numbers in Java
Printing first N natural numbers :
- Using for loop
- Using while loop
- Using do–while loop
- Using recursive function
- Using Java 8 Stream
- Printing in reverse order
Lets get started with coding part, to print first N natural numbers
1. Using for-loop :
NaturalNumbersUsingForLoop.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NaturalNumbersUsingForLoop {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers using for-loop : ");
for(int i=1; i<=n; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 7

2. Using while-loop :
NaturalNumbersUsingWhileLoop.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NaturalNumbersUsingWhileLoop {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// local variable
int i =1;
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers using while-loop : ");
while(i<=n){
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 5

3. Using do-while loop :
NaturalNumbersUsingDoWhileLoop.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NaturalNumbersUsingDoWhileLoop {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// local variable
int i =1;
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers using do-while loop : ");
do {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
} while(i<=n);
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 8

4. Using recursive function :
NaturalNumbersUsingRecursiveFunction.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NaturalNumbersUsingRecursiveFunction {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers using Recursive function : ");
NaturalNumbersUsingRecursiveFunction.naturalNumbering(n, 1);
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
/**
* recursive function
* @param n
* @param i
* @return
*/
public static int naturalNumbering(int n, int i) {
if(n >= i) {
System.out.println(i);
return(naturalNumbering(n, ++i));
}
return 1;
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 10

5. Using Java 8 Stream :
NaturalNumbersUsingStreamInJava8.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;
public class NaturalNumbersUsingStreamInJava8 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers using Java 8 Stream : ");
IntStream.rangeClosed(1, n).forEach(System.out::println);
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 7

6. Printing N natural number in reverse-order :
NaturalNumbersInReverseOrder.java
package in.bench.resources.print.natural.numbers;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class NaturalNumbersInReverseOrder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// instantiate Scanner class
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
// get the limit value of n from user
System.out.print("Enter limit of value n : ");
int n = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nFirst " + n + " Natural numbers in reverse order : ");
for(int i=n; i>=1; i--) {
System.out.println(i);
}
// finally close - its a good programming practice to wrap inside try-catch block
scanner.close();
}
}
Output:
Enter limit of value n : 10
