Statement
Goal
You are a manufacturer and installer of Floor-Tiles.The beauty of Tiles comes from their symmetry, in that the quadrants of a Tile are mirror/reflections of each other.
So, when you get an order for a Tile, only the pattern of the top left quadrant (plus a little more, so you can see the center characters) are the input. Graphically explained here:
☑☑☑☐☐From that limited input, your task is to:
☑☑☑☐☐
☑☑☑☐☐
☐☐☐☐☐
☐☐☐☐☐
Create a full Tile
And display a 2x2 floor (i.e., a floor consisting of 4 of those Tiles)
DETAILS:
➤ Each Tile is a square; the input therefore is also a square
➤ The input square shows the top left character of the full Tile, all the way to the middle character of the full Tile
➤ The input has a side-length of N; therefore the full Tile has a side-length of 2N-1
➤ The full floor needs a grout border, and grout separating the individual Tiles. Grout is represented by
Flip/Mirror patterns:
Generally, a character appearing in the first quadrant just replicates in the other quadrants.
However, for these special characters, you will need to sometimes print the opposite-mate of it:
•
•
•
(The opposite-mate is the one beside it in the character-pair as shown)
Input
Line 1: An integer N, denoting the number of rows of partial Tile pattern
Next N lines: row of partial Tile pattern
Next N lines: row of partial Tile pattern
Output
The entire floor
Constraints
3 ≤ N ≤ 7
