Printing a square in python3 with two whiles

Question

Hello,
It's my first time using sololearn, sorry if I mess something up :)

I started learning python3 and I have a problem with my square printing code. Here it is:

def square( x ):
i = int(0)
while x > 0:
while x > i:
i += 1
print("*", end='')
x -= 1

x=int(input())
square(x)

I want it to print x lines with x length, but it only prints one line. It seems like it only does the "inside while" once. I have no clue why tho.

Any help appreciated!

Answer 1

It only goes trough the loop once because you set the value of i outside the first while loop. So after it loops through the inner while you have to reset the value.

def square(x):
i = int(0)
while x > 0:
i = int(0)
while i < 10:
# print(i,x)
i += 1
print("*", end='')
x = x- 1
# print(x)

x=10
square(x)

Answer 2

I guess this is what you meant?

def square(x):
i = 0
while i < x:
j = 0
while j < x:
print('*', end=' ')
j += 1
print()
i += 1
