public static void main (String[] args){

System.out.print("*");
System.out.print ("**");

You could use .println instead of .print

System.out.println("*");

You really are going to need to put in more effort.

What ? This was a piece of our assignment, i can't put in any more effort the code is correct I just needed to get each line displayed on separate lines!

What they probably meant is you need to put more effort into discovering methods like println rather than just asking. Did you read the Java APIs before posting here? Seriously, the APIs are one of the best learning resources out there IMO because when you go delving into them to find the answer to your specific question, you'll invariably find a treasure trove of other stuff that'll help you in the future.

Either way, System.out.println() will do the trick. Or System.out.print("****\r\n")

Either a bit of reading through the Java docs (or your textbook) or about thirty seconds of googling would have given you the answer, is what he's getting at.

Every September we get a new batch of students coming in here and asking very basic questions without doing the bare minimum of searching on their own, and it gets old.

Not only in Java, this is pretty common in many languages.
