Hello, This version of my simple program should be more readable, and uses the for loop instead of the while loop. """ This program will draw a box according to width and height specs provided by the user""" print "I will now draw a box for you, with pretty plus signs for the corners,"+"\n"+"dashes for the top and bottom, and bars for the sides."+"\n" # Get the dimensions from the user width = input("How wide would you like the box to be?") height = input("How high would you like the box to be?") # Print the top of the box (same as bottom) print " +"+"-"*width+"+" # Print the sides of the box for i in range(height): print " |"+" "*width+"|" # Print the bottom of the box print " +"+"-"*width+"+" print "OK, here is your", width, "by", height, "box." print "Thank you for doing business with the marvelous JDog."
