#I am not sure if this is the correct way to be done
#but apparently it is working for any inputed number
#provided it is an int. I'm not yet there to ask the
#user for only specific numbers. This will come.
#I based my program on the example given not in the 
#assignment but in the building area.

'''
Create a big box out of n rows of little o's for any desired size n. Use an input statement to allow the user to 
enter the value for n and then print the properly sized box.
E.g. n = 3
oooooo
o    o
oooooo
 
E.g. n = 8
oooooooooooooooo
o              o
o              o
