Multiply

Code for the above images it is in the order of images.

#include <iostream>  
using namespace std;  
  
int main() {  
    int size;  
    cout << "Enter Number ";  
    cin >> size;  
    cout << endl;  
    for(int i=0;i<size;i++){  
        for(int j=0;j<size;j++){  
            cout << "*";  
        }

        for(int j=0;j<size;j++){  
            if(i==0 || i == (size -1)) // printing for the first and last line   
            cout << "*";  
            else if((j == 0 && i != size-1) || (j==size-1 && i != size-1)) 
            // printing for the first and last column except first and last row   
            cout << "*";  
            else // putting space for everything else  
            cout << " ";  
        }  
        cout << endl;  
    }  
    return 0;  
}

output for this program is

output_star_c
