Case

You have been tasked to create a program that draws a box. Your program needs to ask the user for the dimensions of the box or length and width. The program will then print out your box.

Since the dimensions of the box will vary each time you run the program, here is a sample output when the user entered 5 for the box width and 10 for the box length.

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

Part 2 Instructions

In Zybooks, write the code that creates the box. Since the inputs will vary, you will need to use a loop to create the box. To start, remove the two print statements that tested your inputs. To create a little space between your input statements and the box, add an empty print (or print()) statement underneath your input statements. This will produce the following when 5 is entered for the width and 10 for the length.

Enter the width of your box: 10 Enter the length of your box: 5 ********** * * * * * * ********** 

Some Help: To get a border that varies with the width input, you could write:

border = "*" * width print(border) 

If the user enters 10 for the width, the following will print:

********** 

Additionally don't forget, you can use string concatenation to fill in the middle of the box. For instance:

border = "*" + " " + "*" print(border) 

This will print:

* *
