Explanation: 
 

• Input number of rows and columns.
• For rows of rectangle run the outer loop from 1 to rows. 
   

for [i = 1; i < = rows; i++]

• For column of rectangle run the inner loop from 1 to columns. 
   

for [j = 1; j < = columns; j++]

• Print star for first or last row or for first or last column, otherwise print blank space.
• After printing all columns of a row, print new line after inner loop.
