Thread: how do i make a square?

i want a square to disply as my out put
the user has to enter the width n a character
the out put should be somthg like this:

Code:

******
*        *
*        *
******

can someone help me on this?

i made a mistake with the square ...it should look like a square!!
there is a hole in the middle

Do you know how to program with loops? Digest this:

Code:

call DrawHorizontalEdge
FOR each inner row
   print "*"
   FOR each space needed to achieve desired width
      print " "
   ENDFOR
   print "*"
ENDFOR
call DrawHorizontalEdge

You'll have to work out the details of course. You could also use width fields to eliminate the inner-most for loop, but, one thing at a time .
