Program to print a rectangle pattern

Given height h and width w, print a rectangular pattern as shown in the example below.

Examples:

Input  : h = 4, w = 5
Output : @@@@@
         @   @
         @   @
         @@@@@

Input  : h = 7, w = 9
Output : @@@@@@@@
         @      @
         @      @
         @      @
         @      @
         @      @
         @@@@@@@@

The idea is to run two loops. One for the number of rows to be printed and the other for the number of columns. Print a ‘@’ only when the current row is first or last. OR the current column is first or last. 

C++

// CPP program to print a rectangular pattern
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

void printRectangle(int h, int w)
{
    for (int i=0; i<h; i++)
    {
        cout << "\n";
        for (int j=0; j<w; j++)
        {
            // Print @ if this is first row
            // or last row. Or this column
            // is first or last.
            if (i == 0 || i == h-1 ||
                j== 0 || j == w-1)
               cout << "@";
            else
               cout << " ";
        }
    }
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int h = 4, w = 5;
    printRectangle(h, w);
    return 0;
}

Java

// JAVA program to print a rectangular

class GFG {

    static void printRectangle(int h, int w)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < h; i++)
        {
            System.out.println();
            for (int j = 0; j < w; j++)
            {
                // Print @ if this is first
                // row or last row. Or this
                // column is first or last.
                if (i == 0 || i == h-1 ||
                    j== 0 || j == w-1)
                   System.out.print("@");
                else
                   System.out.print(" ");
            }
        }
    }

    // Driver code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int h = 4, w = 5;
        printRectangle(h, w) ;
    }
}
