Well eventhough in ur messageu clearly posted that its "your task", I still am willing to write a short program for you..take a look below and let me know if thats what u wanted...

//Display menu

for(int n=0;n<tableLines;n++){

}
}

}
}
Edit:
Make sure you remove autognerated comments at the top of the class displaying my name and date etc by Intellij before using this class..:-)
It will not reflect too good if u claimed it to be written by u with those comments at the top...hehehe
