Problem type
##### Canadian Computing Competition: 2012 Stage 1, Junior #3

You have been asked to take a small icon that appears on the screen of a smart telephone and scale it up so it looks bigger on a regular computer screen.

The icon will be encoded as characters (x and *) in a grid as follows:

*x*
xx
* *

Write a program that accepts a positive integer scaling factor and outputs the scaled icon. A scaling factor of means that each character is replaced by a grid consisting only of that character.

#### Input Specification

The input will be a positive integer such that .

#### Output Specification

The output will be lines, which represent each individual line scaled by a factor of and repeated times. A line is scaled by a factor of by replacing each character in the line with copies of the character.

#### Sample Input

Hi DMOJ users! Can someone kindly take a look at my program and tell me where I went wrong. I have tried debugging but haven't made any progress :(

Much appreciated, kresteodymium :)

Use lowercase 'x' instead of uppercase 'X'.

It's in BrainF, sorry I chose to test my code in an online IDE I found after submission. It seemed to work, but I'm getting WA's for what seem to be correct. (It's saying text clipped but I don't see anything wrong)

Script here (before you ask why I was coding in BrainF, I was bored and wanted to play around with it. -yes I know it's also limited to 1 digit)

The xs are supposed to be lowercase.
