I am very new to C++, and for my first assignment in a class I am supposed to create a program to create a square shaped figure, with a given character that the user inputs. It's supposed to look like: If a is entered as the character: EDIT:...

<div>I am very new to C++, and for my first assignment in a class I am supposed to create a program to create a square shaped figure, with a given character that the user inputs. It's supposed to look like:

If a is entered as the character:

EDIT: for some reason it will not let me move the a's or *'s over to the right to make a hollow box shape, but that's how they are supposed to be.

aaaaaa
a a
a a
a a
a a
a a
aaaaaa

or if * is entered as the character:

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

I have an idea what I am doing, however, I cannot figure out how to define what character the box is made out of . My code so far is:

#include
using namespace std;


int main()

{

char Box = Box;

cout > Box;

cout
