Thread: rectangle

I need to print a rectangle for a game.

The user enters 2 values, say 3 and 5

out put:

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

Can this be done without anything complicated (i.e without pointers and arrays etc..)

any suggestions?

graphic or just text?

Just text

its just supposed to be a hollow square made up of #.

Does anyone know the algorithm?

thanks

hey man thats justr borland code u should tell him that also

here is some code hope u can fix the rest your self
***************************************

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<iomanip.h>
main()
{
int t;
int y;
cin>>y;
cin>>t;
for(int q=0;q<=y;q++)
{
cout<<"*\n";

for(int e=0+2;e<=t;e++)
{
cout<<"*";
}


}
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Simple:

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
	int x,y;
        printf("Enter Width: ");
        cin >> x;
        printf("Enter Height: ");
        cin >> y;
        for(int n=0; n<y; n++)
        {
		for(int h=0; h<x; h++)
                {
                	printf("*");
                }
                printf("\n");
  	}
        return(0);
}

Sorry, I hate scanf.
