// This program prints out several lines of stars of various lengths
// and several boxes of stars of various widths and heights

// Note: The slides show another version that has a method that repeats a given
//       character and number of times. This would help readability of your code.
//       (It looks very similar to the pseudocode that we wrote on Monday!)
//       We didn't however write this version in class.
