Need help with particular program

Question

Hi guys. I just started my journey with c++ and I would like to ask for help. I need to write a program that draws a square with a chosen ASCII char. The square should be scalable ( user should be able to enlarge and shrink it) and movable ( user should be able to move the square around the screen). Would anyone be so kind to help me with this :)?

See, if it's the program you are asking for.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int _size, row, col;
char sym;

cout << "Enter size of the square: ";
cin >> _size;
while(_size<1 || _size>25)
{
cout << "Size must be an integer between 1 to 25, Enter again: ";
cin >> _size;
}

cout << "\nEnter the Row from where to start the square: ";
cin >> row;
while( row<0 || (row+_size)>26 )
{
cout << "\nRow must be in the range of 1 to " << 26-_size << " , Enter again: ";
cin >> row;
}

cout << "\nEnter the Column from where to start the square: ";
cin >> col;
while( col<0 || (col+_size)>40 )
{
cout << "\nColumn must be in the range of 1 to " << 40-_size << " , Enter again: ";
cin >> col;
}

cout << "\nEnter the symbol you want to print the square with: ";
cin >> sym;

system("CLS");

for(int i=1; i<row; ++i)
cout << endl;

for(int i=0; i<_size; ++i)
{
for(int j=1; j<col; ++j)
cout << " ";
for(int j=0; j<_size; ++j)
cout << sym << " ";
cout << endl;
}

cout << endl;

return 0;
}
