Quadrilateral V2 - Python Programming Exercise

In this Python exercise, you will develop a program that prompts the user to input a number, width, and height and displays a rectangle of the specified dimensions using the number as the inner symbol. The program will use the for loop to print the number in a pattern that represents the rectangle. The width determines the number of characters in each row, while the height dictates the number of rows. This task will help you practice using loops for text manipulation and constructing simple shapes with text output in Python. By completing this exercise, you will improve your understanding of user input handling in Python, and how to control the flow of a program using loops. This skill is essential for developing more advanced applications, especially when working with dynamic user data and generating visual outputs in a text-based format. Understanding how to combine user input with loops and conditional statements will make you more proficient in building interactive Python programs.

Quadrilateral V2

 Objective

Develop a Python program that prompts the user for a number, width, and height, and displays a rectangle of that width and height using that number for the inner symbol, as shown in the example below:

Enter a number: 4
Enter the desired width: 3
Enter the desired height: 5

 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: "))

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

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

 Output

Enter a number: 4
Enter the desired width: 3
Enter the desired height: 5
