CCC '12 J3 - Icon Scaling
Canadian Computing Competition: 2012 Stage 1, Junior #3
You have been asked to take a small icon that appears on the screen of a smart telephone and scale it up so it looks bigger on a regular computer screen.
The icon will be encoded as characters ( x and * ) in a \(3 \times 3\) grid as follows:
*x*
xx
* *Write a program that accepts a positive integer scaling factor and outputs the scaled icon. A scaling factor of \(k\) means that each character is replaced by a \(k \times k\) grid consisting only of that character.
Input Specification
The input will be a positive integer \(k\) such that \(k < 25\) .
Output Specification
The output will be \(3k\) lines, which represent each individual line scaled by a factor of \(k\) and repeated \(k\) times. A line is scaled by a factor of \(k\) by replacing each character in the line with \(k\) copies of the character.
