        Dim n As Integer
        Dim i, j As Integer
        Console.Write("Enter number for the border of the square: ")
        n = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine())
        Console.Write("Enter total: ")
        width = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine())
        i = 0

        While i
            Console.Write(n)
            i += 1
        End While

        Console.WriteLine()
        i = 0

        While i - 2
