Thread: How to Display a square

Mine is a bit different from yours, sorry, but I already had it done. You should be able to figure it out from this code though.

Code:

#include <iostream.h>

void draw_square(int length, char character)
{
	cout << "+ ";
	
	for (int horizontal=0; horizontal < (length-2); horizontal++)
	{
		cout<<"- ";
	}

	cout << "+" << endl;

	for (int vertical=0; vertical<(length-2); vertical++)
	{
		cout << "| ";

		for (int whitespace=0; whitespace < (length + length - 5); whitespace++)
		{
			cout << character;
		}

		cout << " |" << endl;
	}

	cout << "+ ";
	
	for (horizontal=0; horizontal < (length-2); horizontal++)
	{
		cout<<"- ";
	}

	cout << "+" << endl;
}

int main()
{
int length_of_square=0;
char userchar=0;
		
	cout << "Enter the length of the square" << endl;
	cin >> length_of_square;
	cout<<"What character should we use?"<<endl;
	cin>>userchar;

	if (length_of_square == 0)
		return 0;

	if (length_of_square < 0)
	{
		cout << "Incorrect length.";
		return 0;
	}

	draw_square(length_of_square, userchar);

return 0;
}
