Question

First, launch NetBeans and close any previous projects that may be open (at the top menu go to File ==> Close All Projects).

Then create a new Java application called "PatternMaker" (without the quotation marks) according to the following guidelines.

The program prompts the user for five input values:

An integer value between 1 and 10 (inclusive) for the number of rows to be printed
A second integer value between 1 and 10 (inclusive) for the number of columns to be printed
A string value for the starting string of the pattern
A string value for the second string of the pattern
A string value that separates the first two strings

The program must use nested for loops to print a rectangular array of alternating first and second strings of the pattern, separated by the separator string and such that the first string in the first row uses the "first string" provided by the user, but each subsequent row alternates the starting string between the "second string" the user provided and the "first string" the user provided.

So, for instance, if the user enters 5 for the number of rows, 7 for the number of columns, and "XX" for the first string, "OO" for the second string, and "***" for the separator, your program should print the following rectangular pattern.

XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX

OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO

XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX

OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO

XX***OO***XX***OO***XX***OO***XX
