I agree and very poor homework too.
I certainly wouldn't expect to use two for loops, I'd only use one.
(And that assumes the more general problem of drawing an
arbitrary sized square, for the specific case I'd use a single print
statement and triple quoted string!)

Any homework which implies that only one design is acceptable
is a bad assignment in my book!

But the advice stays good. Tell us how far you got and what's
sticking you and we will try to help...
