Thread: Need help on this Rectangle Program

So this is the rectangle program where program prompts user for height, width, and a char to draw the box/rectangle. Professor wants us to implement two functions where the PrintChar only receives two parameters and does the printing while PrintBox does the calculations... I'm pretty inexperienced and this is what I have so far and im stuck... the videos and old post i've seen isn't clicking in my brain and was hoping someone can finish/explain the looping structure to me... may need to drop this course sadly...

So idk why I cant edit the post anymore so...

Code:

#include <stdio.h>


//Function Prototype
void PrintBox(int width, int height, char boxChar);
void PrintChars(int height, char boxChar);


//Main Function
int main(void)
{
  //Local Variables
  auto int width;
  auto int height;
  auto char boxChar;
  auto int result;
  
  //Prompt user for width inputs and checks for invalid parameters or EOF
  printf("%s", "Please enter a positive box width: ");
  result = scanf("%d", &width);
  if(result != 1)
    {
      puts("Error no width was entered..");
      return 0;
    }
  else if(width > 80 || width < 1)
    {
      puts("Sorry, the width must be between 1 and 80 inclusive...");
      return 0;
    }


  //Prompt user for height and checks for invalid parameters or EOF
  printf("%s", "Please enter a positive box height: ");
  result = scanf("%d", &height);
  if(result != 1)
    {
      puts("Error no height was entered..");
      return 0;
    }
  else if (height > 80 || height < 1)
    {
      puts("Sorry, the height must be between 1 and 80 inclusive...");
      return 0;
    }


  //Prompt user for box char and checks for invalid parameters of EOF
  printf("%s", "Please enter the box character: ");
  result = scanf(" %c", &boxChar);
   if(result != 1)
    {
      puts("Error! No character was entered...");
      return 0;
    }
   else if(result = 1)
     {
       PrintBox(width, height, boxChar);
     }  
}


//Functions
void PrintBox(int width, int height, char boxChar)
{


  for(int j = 0; j < height; j++)
    {
      for(int i = 0; i < width; ++i)
    {
      PrintChars(i, boxChar);
    }
    }
 
  //PrintChars(height, boxChar);
}
void PrintChars(int boxNumber, char boxChar)
{
  //Print the width of box
  printf("%c", boxChar);
  
  printf("\n");
  /*for(int i = 1; i <= boxNumber; ++i)
    {
      printf("%c\n", boxChar);
    }
  */
}
