Quadrilateral - Python Programming Exercise

In this exercise, you will develop a Python program that prompts the user to enter a number and a width, and then displays a square of that width using the entered number as the inner symbol. The program will repeat the number for the specified width, creating a visual representation of a square. This task will help you practice managing user input and working with loops to generate patterns in Python. By completing this exercise, you will improve your skills in handling user input and using loops to generate repeating characters or patterns. This is an essential skill in programming that can be applied in various contexts, such as creating ASCII art, formatting output, and designing dynamic user interfaces.

Quadrilateral

 Objective

Develop a Python program that prompts the user to enter a number and a width, and displays a square of that width using that number for the inner symbol, as shown in this example:

Enter a number: 4
Enter the desired width: 3

444
444
444

 Example Python Exercise

 Copy Python Code 
# Prompt the user to enter a number
num = input("Enter a number: ")

# Prompt the user to enter the desired width
width = int(input("Enter the desired width: "))

# Use a while loop to display the square
i = 0
while i < width:
    print(num * width)
    i += 1

 Output

Enter a number: 4
Enter the desired width: 3
444
444
444
