Hey I've been having trouble getting a box drawn in java. I need to draw one when either the number 9 or 17 is entered. It almost works with 9 but there is a stray star to the right of it. 17 is worse because the right side of the box is too many spaces away from the rest of the box. Here is the method that I have right now. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

public static String drawBox(int s){
			String result="";
			
			for (int i =1; i<s; i++)result +="* ";
		
			
			for (int i = 1; i<s;i++){
				for (int j=0; j<=s;j++){
					if(j==0 || j==s-1)result +="*";
					else for(int h=2;h<j;h++)result += " ";
					
					}
				
				result +="\n";
			}
	
			
			for (int i =0; i<s; i++)result +="* ";
			return result;
			}

for (int j=0; j<=s;j++){
Im pretty sure that should be j<s; yeah?

I actually tried that but it didn't change my results. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Anyone else have any ideas?
