Answer 1

# Python3 as requested, size independent:

n = 4

for i in range(-n,n+1):
if i:
for j in range(-n,n+1):
x = abs(j) if j else 1
x = i if x < abs(i) else x
print(abs(x),end='')
print()

"""
Anyway, are you sure that's the right expected result you've wrote in description?
Because I'm surprised that the "square" is not square: yours is 8 lines by 9 characters sized ^^
(I've done my code to be correct regarding your model :P)

Answer 3
