My First Java

[MallardsReach]

Hi and thanks for looking, Just started to learn Java and after reading various tutorials came up with this simple tables program. My question, is it as it should be? I mean it works OK but is it coded correctly?

import java.util.Scanner; // Import the Scanner class
public class MyTables {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int secondNum, answerNum;

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);  // Create a Scanner object
System.out.println("Type a number:");
secondNum = sc.nextInt(); // Read user input	

for (int firstNum = 1; firstNum <= 12; firstNum ++) { 
answerNum = firstNum \* secondNum;
System.out.println(firstNum + " x " + secondNum + " = " + answerNum);
  }
}

}

Looks OK and works, so that should be enough. You may like to use formatting on your output so all table entries are on the same column - currently the x and beyond is shifted right from 10 onwards.

Thanks for the reply and for the suggestion re formatting.
