Program almost finished

Last weekend I posted about this program to make a "table shape" out of asterisks. I am almost there except for the missing left leg of the table ,and the bottom row of asterisks does't need to be there. Any ideas? Thanks

Code:

Code:

 
     6  #include <stdio.h>
     7
     8  int main(void)
     9
    10  {
    11
    12  int height, width, hgt, wdt;
    13
    14  printf("Enter width:");
    15  scanf("%d", &width);
    16  printf("Enter height:");
    17  scanf("%d", &height);
    18
    19
    20  for(hgt = 0; hgt < height; hgt++)   {
    21     for(wdt = 0; wdt < width - 2; wdt++)   {
    22        if(wdt == 0 || wdt == width- 1)
    23           printf("*\n");
    24    else if(hgt == 0 || hgt == height - 1)
    25           printf("*");
    26        else
    27           printf(" ");
    28     }
    29  }
    30  printf("\n");
    31  printf("PROGRAM ENDS\n");
    32  return 0;
    33
    34  }

Here is the output

Code:

Code:

Enter width:10
Enter height:5
*
********
       *
       *
       *
*******
PROGRAM ENDS

Any suggestions? Thank you for help!

It's probably best you call them 'rows' and 'columns' rather than, 'width' and 'height'.

The pseudo-code might look something like:

Code:

FOR row = 0; row < numRows; row++

    FOR column = 0; column < numColumns; column++
    
        IF column == 0 || row == 0 || column == numColumns - 1      First column, last column or first row?
            PRINT "*"
        ELSE
            PRINT " "                                               Neither first row, first column or last column
            
    END FOR
    PRINT "\n"
END FOR

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
	int height, width, hgt, wdt;

	printf("Enter width:");
	scanf("%d", &width);
	printf("Enter height:");
	scanf("%d", &height);
	
	for ( hgt = 0; hgt < height; hgt++)   {
		for ( wdt = 0; wdt < width - 2; wdt++)   {
			if ( wdt == 0 || wdt == width- 1) printf("*\n") ;
			else if ( hgt == 0 || hgt == height - 1) printf("*");
			else printf(" ");
		}
	}
	printf("\n");
	printf("PROGRAM ENDS\n");
	return 0;
}

You want full width.
You want a newline on each line, but only after the full width has been printed each (AKA, after your inner loop completes)
For blue and green, you pretty much got it (good job!), just fix the other two things.

Here's the logic you need:

1) If col==0 or col==max, print a star.
2) else if row==0 or row==max, print a star
3) else print a blank
4) print a newline
5) repeat

Ok the - 2 does not need to be there for the width. it just needs to be less than the width. That gives me the left leg. Thank you!
