Drawing a hollow asterisk square

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to turn my whole square into a hollow one. The few things I\'ve tried so far haven\'t been very successful as I end up getting present

Answer 1

Heres my example:

print("Enter width")
width = int(input())
print("Enter height")
height = int(input())

for i in range(height):
    if i in[0]:
        print("* "*(width))
    elif i in[(height-1)]:
        print("* "*(width))
    else:
        print("*"+"  "*(width-2)+" *")

input()

Output: Image link

Hope this helps everyone else, who wants to leave spaces between asteriks, while printing a rectangle and if there are any mistakes in my code let me know, because I'm a beginner myself.
