Trying to make a rectangle loop

Question about the task

Resolved

It says illegal start of expression at Line 20 but I don't know what is wrong with it. Or you just can't make loop at void method?

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0513;

public class Rectangle {

int top;
int left;
int width = top;
int height = left;
int i = 0;

public void rectloop (){
for (i=1; i<5; i++)
{
public void initialize(int i){
this.top = i;
this.width;
this.left = i + 1;
this.height;
}
;}
}
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    }
}

Create a Rectangle class. The data for this class will be top, left, width, height.
Create as many initialize(...) methods as possible

Here are some examples:
- 4 parameters are specified: left, top, width, and height
- width/height is not specified (both are 0)
- height is not specified (it is equal to the width), we'll create a square
- create a copy of another rectangle passed as an argument

Requirements:

The program must not read data from the keyboard.
The Rectangle class must have int variables top, left, width and height.
The class must have at least one initialize method.
The class must have at least two initialize methods.
The class must have at least three initialize methods.
The class must have at least four initialize methods.

package com.codegym.task.task05.task0513; /* Let's put together a rectangle */ public class Rectangle { //write your code here int top; int left; int width = top; int height = left; int i = 0; public void rectloop (){ for (i=1; i<5; i++) { public void initialize(int i){ this.top = i; this.width; this.left = i + 1; this.height; } ; } } public static void main(String[] args) { } }

Hi, you do something completely wrong, you have a lot of errors in the code, look carefully at it. all this can be done through the constructor. Read carefully assignment! you need to start with this:

public class Rectangle {
    int top;
    int left;
    int width;
    int height;

    public void initialize (int top) {
        this.top = top;
    }

Thanks man, I have done the assignment via the general way. In this code I was trying to make a loop in which the initialize method would gradually change the value of the "int i" (line 20), and I was trying to make the top and width the same length too. Just today I realized it can't be done with this code. Also I did this code while sleep deprived and a bit frustrated, so yeah, it doesn't make sense and has a lot of error. Thank you!

ok so I realized this code would not work because it will repeatedly print public void initialize(int i){ while initialize could not exist with the same arguments (the "int i").
