How do I print a rectangle instead of a square?

Instead of both loops running up to N, the outer loop runs up to the 'height' variable, and the inner loop runs up to the 'width' variable.

In a square pattern, the number of columns printed is constant and does not depend on which row is currently being printed.

The outer loop runs N times, and the inner loop runs N times. Therefore, the time complexity is exactly O(N^2).

Using 'print' keeps the output on the same horizontal line. Using 'println' would output each star on a completely new line, ruining the grid.
