beginners help

[Guido van Brakel]

Hello

I totally new to python and i'm doing a python course now. Maybe someone
could help me a little bit here:

I need to create this script.

If i enter a center digit like 5 for example i need to create two
vertical and horzitonal rows that looks like this. If i enter 6 it shows
6 six starts. How can i do this, because i don't have any clue.

This would totally ruin the purpose of your course. Did you try
anything at all ?

This list is not there to provide you with solutions to your homework. If
you try and show us your efforts, or have otherwise concrete questions you
certainly will get the help you want.

If you turn this in you will be rewarded for your effort :)

side = input("How many stars on a side?:")
if side == 5:
print "*****"
print "*   *"
print "*   *"
print "*   *"
print "*****"
elif side == 6:
print "******"
print "*    *"
print "*    *"
print "*    *"
print "*    *"
print "******"

Start by writing some Python code that draws a horizontal line of stars.
(Hint: "print '*' draws one star.)

Now write some code that draws a column of stars.

Now combine them to draw a square.

Come back when you have some more specific questions.
