Tue Apr 8 10:54:02 EDT 2008 Problem Two:

Write a program that produces scalable patterns as detailed below.

The program should ask the user for an integer then draw a Z at that size.

Behaviour is not specified if the user enters anything but a positive integer.

Here's an idea how your program should work. Your program need only be reasonably similar.

The design of the Z is non-negotiable, though: four line segments, as shown.
