Write the definition of a method dashedLine, with one parameter, an int. If the parameter is negative or zero, the method does nothing. Otherwise it prints a complete line terminated by a newline to standard output consisting of dashes (hyphens) with the parameter's value determining the number of dashes. The method returns nothing

The following are the program in the Java Programming Language.

//define a function

public void dashedLine (int x)

{  

//check the variable 'a' is greater than 0

if (x>0)

{

//declare integer data type variable

int i;

//set the for loop that iterates from 1 to variable 'a'

for (i=1;i<=x;i=i+1)

{

//print the following dashes

System.out.print("-");

}  

//for empty space

System.out.println("");

}

}

Explanation:

The following are the description of the program.

Define a function 'dashedLine()' and pass an argument 'x' in the function's parameter.Then, set the if conditional statement that check the argument x is greater than 0 or not.Then, declare the variable 'i' and set the for loop statement that iterates from 1 to the variable x then, print the dashes and print the empty spaces after every loop statement.
