I am trying to plot a two variable equation to a Cartesian plane. Here is my problem, on the code below if I comment out one for loop and let another run, the plot of the graph (the negative or positive sides of x) is correct, but if I run both for loops they seem to alter each other and the graph comes out wrong. I’ve tried every combination of for loops, looping frontward, backward, nothing seems to solve it.
I commented out the where these loops are at the end of the class “public class DrawingComponent extends JComponent” where it says “// This two loops work fine if each one is run independently”

if you comment out one loop the other loop always start with xCoord = 0;
if you run both loops the second starts with the current xCoord.value
it looks like you have to set “xCoord = 0;” before the second loop;
