so i'm scratching head on how flip output ruler....upside down idea ? if run code you'll see output can't/don't how post sample here

public class ruler {    private static void drawminorticks(int line, int ticks) {     if (ticks > 1) {         drawminorticks(line, ticks - 1);     }       if (line <= ticks) {         system.out.print('|');     } else {         system.out.print(' ');     }     if (ticks > 1) {         drawminorticks(line, ticks - 1);     } }  private static void drawsinglemajortick(int line, int ticks, int label) {     if (line <= ticks) {         system.out.print('|');     } else {         system.out.print(label);     } }  private static void drawmajorticks(int inches, int line, int ticks) {     drawsinglemajortick(line, ticks, 0);     (int = 1; <= inches; i++) {         drawminorticks(line, ticks - 1);         drawsinglemajortick(line, ticks, i);     } }  private static void drawruler(int inches, int ticks) {     (int = 1; <= ticks + 1; ++i) {         drawmajorticks(inches, i, ticks);         system.out.println();     } }  public static void main(string[] args) {     drawruler(5, 5); } 

}

just iterate backwards in drawruler()!

for (int = ticks + 1; > 0; --i) {
