java - I need help on boolean arrays -

i'm stuck on array problem , use help.

the first visitor occupy middle position:

        _ _ _ _ _ x _ _ _ _ 

the next visitor in middle of empty area on left side, longest sequence of unoccupied places:

        _ _ x _ _ x _ _ _ _  etc... 

i have made start , need continuing. here's code , please me. have boolean array created cant figure out how print out contents of or , see know elements true or false can fill out rest of array.

import java.util.scanner; public class homework06 {      public static void main(string[] args) {         scanner keyboard = new scanner (system.in);         int answer = 0;         string start="";          answer=promptfornumberofstalls();         int[] stalls=new int[answer];             boolean firstperson[]=new boolean[answer];         start=firstperson(answer);         occupyonemore(answer, start, firstperson);     }      public static int promptfornumberofstalls (){         int answer =0;         scanner keyboard = new scanner (system.in);         system.out.println("hello, how many stalls there be");         answer = keyboard.nextint();         return answer;     }     public static string firstperson( int answer){         boolean[] firstperson = new boolean[answer];         string start="";         for(int i=0;i<firstperson.length;i++){             if(firstperson[i])                 start+="x";             else                 start+="_";         }         return start;     }      public static boolean[] occupyonemore(int answer, string start, boolean[] firstperson){     int middle=answer/2+1;     firstperson[answer/2+1]=true;     (int = 0; < firstperson.length; i++) {         if (firstperson[i] == true) {             middle = (int) math.floor(i / 2); // use math.ceil round             system.out.println(middle);              if(middle==i){                   firstperson[i]=true;               }         }      }        system.out.println(arrays.tostring(firstperson));     return firstperson; } 

}

to print contents of array, use arrays.tostring():

boolean[] ba = new boolean[]{true,true,false,true}; system.out.println(arrays.tostring(ba)); 

will produce output

[true,true,false,true]
