    rectangle of asterisks

    i created a program where you input a height and width and the output is a rectangle of asterisks. and when a negative height or width or both is entered, the number changes to one, but the output screen is just black, can someone help me with this.


    Code:
     
    #include <iostream>
    using namespace std;
    int height;
    int width;
    int tmp;
    int tmp2;
    
    int main(){
          cout<<"Enter height rectangle: ";
    	  cin>>height;
             if(height < 1)
    			 height = 1;
    		 else
    			 if(height > 20)
    				 height = 20;
    		 
          cout<<"Enter width rectangle: ";
    	  cin>>width;
             if(width < 1)
    			 width = 1;
    		 else 
    			 if(width > 20)
    				 width = 20;
    
          for(tmp = 0; tmp != width; tmp++) 
    		  cout<<"*";
    
          for(tmp = 2; tmp != (height ); ++tmp){
    		  cout<<"\n*";
             for(tmp2 = 2; tmp2 != (width); ++tmp2) 
    			 cout<<" ";
    		 cout<<"*";
    	  }
          cout << "\n*";
          for(tmp = 1; tmp != (width); ++tmp)
          cout<<"*";                                 
          
          cout<<"\n";
    
    	  cout<<height<<endl;
    	  cout<<width<<endl;
    
    	  system("pause");
    	  return 0;
    }
