Nested for loops - Java

In java, how would you write a nested for loop to print the following: o //\ ||
o // \ || o // \ || o // \ || o // \||

I know how to write a basic for loop but the transformation part is what I have trouble with. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, I also realize the pattern isn't showing up correctly on the question. Basically the patter is in the shape of a "W" but made up of the characters above.

so you want to print to the screen a huge w but with different lines and stuff? cant you just use System.out.println(); inside of your loops and make it so it prints the top row of characters then the second then third etc.
