Making a box in python with controlled inputs from user
<p>I am trying to make a box where the user inputs the width, height, what kind of symbol the box should be made out of and the fill(inside the box). I am a new python coder, so any suggestions would be great, but the more novice level responses the better so i may learn and not skip into far advance techniques.</p>

<pre><code>  def main():
        width = print(int("Please enter the width of the box: "))
        height = print(int("Please enter the height of the box: "))
        symbol =  print("Please enter the symbol for the box outline: ")
        fill = print("Please enter the symbol for the box fill: ")
        for a in range(width):
            for b in range(height):
                if i in #some condition here
                    print(symbol)
                else:
                    print(fill)
    main()
</code></pre>

<p>My projected input should be:</p>

<pre><code>width: 4
height: 4
symbol: #
fill:1
####
#11#
#11#
####
</code></pre>

<p>Use <code>input("Enter number")</code> to get input from the user. You should first loop on height then on width. To print with no new-line use <code>end=""</code> as a parameter to <code>print</code>. You used <code>i</code> instead of <code>b</code> and <code>a</code>. That's about it I think. Next time ask more specific questions.</p>
