Java help

Ok, I need to write a program in a class named "whatever" and ignore the main method for a moment.

In this class, I need to create a static method with one parameter of type int[ ] and Inside the method
a. Keep all output on one line I guess using System.out.print( )
b. Display an opening square bracket character.
c. Loop through the array that was passed into the method, display the values in the array, add a comma
and a space after every value except the last one.
d. then display a closing square bracket character...I guess using System.out.println().

Then, in my main method I've got to create an array and pass the reference to this array to the "printArray" method.
int[ ] oneD = {5, 6, 7, 8};
Then in my main method, I need to add a blank println() statement after the method call just made.
and in the class, create an overloaded static method with one parameter of type int[ ] [] named "arr" and inside:
a. Use println() to display an opening square bracket character.
b. Loop through the two-dimensional array that was passed into the method.
i. First, use System.out.print() to display two space characters.
ii. Every element of this two-dimensional array that you are looping through is a one-dimensional
array of int. Call the other printArray method and pass to it each one-dimensional array in the
two-dimensional array.
c. Using println(), display a closing square bracket character.

Then in the main method, I need to create the following two-dimensional array and pass the reference to this array to the printArray method.
int[ ][ ] twoD = {{2, 4, 6, 8}, {8, 7, 9, 1},
{3, 5, 1, 2}};

In the main method, add a blank println() statement after the method call you just made.

In the main method, create the following ragged two-dimensional array. Pass the reference to this array to the
printArray method.

int[ ][ ] twoD2 = {{1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6}, {7, 8, 9}};

I think the results (output) should look identical to this
/* Results:
[5, 6, 7, 8]
[
[2, 4, 6, 8]
[8, 7, 9, 1]
[3, 5, 1, 2]
]
[
[1, 2]
[3, 4, 5]
[6]
[7, 8, 9]
]
*/
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Here's what I have thus far...

public class ArrayPrinter {

	
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		

		        int[] oneD = {5, 6, 7, 8 };  
                     
		        int[][] twoD = {{2,4,6,8},{8,7,9,1},{3,5,1,2}}; 

		        int[][] twoD2 = {{1,2},{3,4,5},{6},{7,8,9}};

		        
		        printArray(oneD);
		        printArray(twoD);
                printArray(twoD2);
		     
		    }

		    
	
	        public static void printArray(int[] arr) 

		    {
	        	System.out.println("[");
	        	 for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
		       {

		    	   
		        	 if (i == arr.length - 1)
		        		System.out.print(arr[i]);

		        	else
                        System.out.print(arr[i] + ",");
	 
		        }
                     System.out.println("]");
		       
		    }

		    

		    public static void printArray(int[] [] arr) 

		    {

		    	
               System.out.println("[");
               for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
		        	printArray(arr[i]);
		                System.out.println("]");
		        

		    }
