solution

you dont need anything in your println statement, and the empty space in front of your print statement should be the one causing the problem.

it shouldn't be don't like that use the while loop to print one complete line at a time and with each subsequent line you multiply by another number . eg: let say in the while loop you set count = 1 and the condition is count (<= 10) . now you will have to do 9 System.out.print() and 1 System.out.println() and white each print line you multiply a number from 1..10 by count so that it prints the multiply of the numbers .. look at this small hint code

int count = 1;
		while(count <= 10) {
		System.out.print( 1*count + " ");
		System.out.print(2*count +  " ");
		System.out.print(3*count+   " ");
		System.out.println(4*count+  " ");

		count ++;
		}

:) hope this solves it

can you please explain why we need to do

System.out.print( 1*count + " ");
		System.out.print(2*count +  " ");
		System.out.print(3*count+   " ");
		System.out.println(4*count+  " ");

why only the last one with (System.out.println)

The problem is that there's a space at the beginning and end of each line: The simplest way to solve this would be to get rid of the inner loop and just wright:

System.out.println(x*1 + " " + x*2 + " " + etc);
