(It looks a little cooler in person.)

Study Drills

1. Delete all the open curly braces and close curly braces from all the outer for loops. (Leave the curly braces that belong to the innermost loop (the "ones" loop).) Does it still work? Answer in a comment.
2. Change all the loops so that they count from 0 to 7 instead of 0 to 9. This will display numbers in "octal" (base 8) instead of "decimal" (base 10).
3. Change the code so that the human gets to type in a number for the base, and your odometer counts up to that instead of 8. You might want to increase the delay (put a bigger number (like maybe 500) inside the Thread.sleep()).

After you've made all the changes, it should look something like this (except that all your numbers will be overwriting each other on the same line instead of printing on separate lines):

Which base (2-10): 2
 0000
 0001
 0010
 0011
 0100
 0101
