Hollow box program updated

[Scoobs]

I need to write a program that will produce a hollow box of stars. the program has to ask the user how many rows/columns, then use a while loop, if statements, etc. to execute it. I was able to get a box of stars but not a hollow box. Any help?

what do you think the difference is between this:

***************

and this?

*             *

One has whitespaces in it. That's how you make the gaps.

Hope this helps
