        for (i = 0; i; i++)
            Console.Write(n);

        Console.WriteLine();

        for (i = 0; i - 2; i++)
        {
            Console.Write(n);

            for (j = 0; j - 2; j++)
                Console.Write(" ");

            Console.WriteLine(n);
        }

        for (i = 0; i; i++)
            Console.Write(n);
