Small note: print("") is the same as print()

The general idea is: make a string that represents top/bottom of the
square, make a string for the middle part, print out the first string,
then print out middle part n-2 times, then print out first string again.

Did you know you can multiply strings? e.g.:

space  = ' '
border = '*'
line   = border + space*70

  -m
