A fractal is a geometrical object with the property that subsections of the object appear identical to (but smaller than) the whole object. Here we consider a specific fractal, which we will approximate by iterating a construction process.
Start with a filled square whose side length is

The actual fractal is what we get when this process is iterated infinitely many times. As one might expect, each of the
Write a program to compute the specified function after *
to indicate filled areas and
to indicate unfilled areas. The figure will be too large to print on a single screen or sheet of paper so the input will specify a small rectangular portion of the figure to be printed.
Input Specification
The first line of input contains a positive integer
, the number of iterations , the bottom row of the rectangle to be printed , the top row of the rectangle to be printed , the left column of the rectangle to be printed , the right column of the rectangle to be printed
Note that rows are numbered from bottom to top and columns from left to right.
Output Specification
Compute the figure and print the specified rectangular portion, with one line of output per row. Print the top row first, and the bottom row last. To make the output appear square, leave a single horizontal space between row elements (as is done in the examples above). Leave a blank line in the output after every test case.

Thanks very much.
Since the checker was not implemented properly, it was fixed, and all submissions were rejudged.
