cheerleader

Language/Type: Java method basics println
Author: Marty Stepp (on 2010/12/28)

Write a method named cheerleader that accepts two integer parameters lines and cheers and prints a series of "cheer" lines at increasing levels of indentation. The first parameter represents the number of lines of output to print, and the second represents the number of "cheers" per line. For example, the call of cheerleader(2, 4) means that you should print 2 lines of output, each containing 4 "cheers." A "cheer" is an occurrence of the word "Go" in the output. Neighboring cheers are separated by the word "Team", so 1 cheer is printed as "Go", 2 cheers as "Go Team Go", 3 cheers are printed as "Go Team Go Team Go", and so on.

The lines you print should be displayed at increasing levels of indentation. The first line displayed should have no indentation, but each following line should be intended by 3 spaces more than the one before it. In other words, the 2nd line of output should be indented by 3 spaces, the 3rd line by 6 spaces, and so on.

You may assume that both parameters passed your method will have values of at least 1.
The following calls demonstrate your method's behavior. Your method should match this output format exactly:

Call: cheerleader(2, 1); cheerleader(4, 3); cheerleader(2, 4);
output: 
Go
   Go

Go Team Go Team Go
   Go Team Go Team Go
      Go Team Go Team Go
         Go Team Go Team Go

Go Team Go Team Go Team Go
   Go Team Go Team Go Team Go
