I have made a program that makes rectangles of a specified height, width, and character. What I want to do is make it "hollow" but I have no clue how to go about that.
Example:
How high? 5
How wide? 5
What character? *
*****
*___*
*___*
*___*
*****
Note: underscores are placeholders for whitespace
Any tips?
Here is my code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void makeRectangle(int , int , char );
int main()
{
int height = 0;
int width = 0;
char character = '*' ;
cout <<"I make rectangles! Set height as -1 to quit!\n" ;
cout <<"How high? " ;
cin >> height;
if (height != -1)
{
cout <<"How wide? " ;
cin >> width;
cout << "What character? " ;
cin >> character;
makeRectangle(height, width, character);
}
cout << "Done" ;
}
void makeRectangle(int hi, int wi, char ch)
{
int awi = 0;
while (hi > 0)
{
awi = wi;
while (awi > 0)
{
awi--;
cout << ch << " " ;
}
cout << endl;
hi--;
}
}

Thanks lastchance. It didn't work at first but I guess my compiler didn't like '\n'. So I just changed it to "\n"
