The challenge
I will give you an integer. Give me back a shape that is as long and wide as the integer. The integer will be a whole number between 1 and 50.
Example
n = 3, so I expect a 3×3 square back just like below as a string:

The solution in Python
Option 1:
def generateShape(i):
return (i-1)*(('+'*i)+'\n')+('+'*i)
Option 2:
def generateShape(integer):
return '\n'.join('+' * integer for i in range(integer))
Option 3:
def generateShape(n):
string = ""
for row in range(n):
for col in range(n):
string += '+'
string += '\n'
return(string[:-1])
Test cases to validate our solution

test.assert_equals(generate_shape(3), '+++\n+++\n+++')
test.assert_equals(generate_shape(8), '++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++\n++++++++')
