Problem type

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 $3 \times 3$ ~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 $k$ ~k~ means that each character is replaced by a $k \times k$ ~k \times k~ grid consisting only of that character.

Input Specification

The input will be a positive integer $k$ ~k~ such that $k < 25$ ~k < 25~.

Output Specification

The output will be $3k$ ~3k~ lines, which represent each individual line scaled by a factor of $k$ ~k~ and repeated $k$ ~k~ times. A line is scaled by a factor of $k$ ~k~ by replacing each character in the line with $k$ ~k~ copies of the character.
