Write a program that displays a window into a “network” of boxes connected by lines. See examples below. Query the user for the width and height of the display window (in characters) and also the size of the boxes (they are squares of with identical height and width, in characters) and the length of an edge (lines between boxes, in characters). Draw the network of boxes starting from the upper left, starting always with a square. Connect squares horizontally and vertically with an edge in the middle of the box. Any inputs that are not positive integers should be queried again until the user provides a positive integer.
If the square size is even, edges should be double width. If the square size is odd, use only single “-” characters. Square corners should be rendered with a “#” character. The pipe character (“|”) can be found on your keyboard above the backslash character.
Your program should work with any positive value for the size of the squares, the length of the edges, and the height and width of the display window.
The input on the screen might look like this (two lines when square size is even):
Input your desired height: derp!
Error: please type in an integer.
Input your desired height: 21
Input your desired width: 39
Input square size: 8
Input edge length: 4

Or look like this (Here the square (size 1) is just a single “#”. The connection between the squares is the - character. Odd-sized squares just have one line, not two):
Input your desired height: 11
Input your desired width: 26
Input square size: 1
Input edge length: 3
#---#---#---#---#---#---#-

| | | | | | |
#---#---#---#---#---#---#-
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
#---#---#---#---#---#---#-
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Or look like this (the window is smaller than a single square):
Input your desired height: 8
Input your desired width: 14
Input square size: 26
Input edge length: 25
