Create a program that draws a rectangle in text mode given the dimensions provided by the user. Attached is a sample of the execution of the program. Hint: Use a loop and the repetition operator to create the rectangle.
Types of Loop
Loops are the elements of programming in which a part of code is repeated a particular number of times. Loop executes the series of statements many times till the conditional statement becomes false.
Loops
Any task which is repeated more than one time is called a loop. Basically, loops can be divided into three types as while, do-while and for loop. There are so many programming languages like C, C++, JAVA, PYTHON, and many more where looping statements can be used for repetitive execution.
While Loop
Loop is a feature in the programming language. It helps us to execute a set of instructions regularly. The block of code executes until some conditions provided within that Loop are true.
Text Rectangle. Create a
Hint: Use a loop and the repetition operator to create the rectangle.
![### Drawing a Text Rectangle
To create a rectangular shape using text characters, follow these instructions:
1. **Enter the Width**: Input the number of characters that will form the width of the rectangle.
2. **Enter the Height**: Input the number of characters that will form the height of the rectangle.
Example:
- **Width of rectangle**: 10 characters
- **Height of rectangle**: 4 characters
The resultant rectangle will look something like this:
```
##########
# #
# #
##########
```
Explanation of the diagram:
- The top and bottom lines of the rectangle are formed by a continuous string of 10 `#` characters.
- The sides of the rectangle are formed by `#` characters at the beginning and end of each line.
- The spaces inside the rectangle are empty to maintain the shape's structure.
This method can be used to visually represent a rectangle using text-based characters in a console or simple text environment.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F47e293e7-9f62-4fc2-a86c-08857850f6fd%2F787fb5f3-e10c-4904-b225-385d9d730a4b%2F4wthl5e_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
