Homework  Assignment Number 6

1. Finish Reading Chapter 4
2.  Write function that will make a rectangle out consisting of any character:
   
• Make_character_rectangle(height, width, char)
• Should make height rows of width instances of char
  
• For example, if height = 5 and width = 3, and char = '*', a 5 X 3 rectangle of asterisks would be created.
  
3. Write a function that makes a parallelogram of characters in a similar way
• Make_character_parallelogram(height, width, char)
• The first line of the parallelogram should be height-1 spaces from the left margin, the second line should be height-2 spaces, and so on until the last line where there are 0 spaces before the first '*'
  
• For example, the following would be produced by the command:               character_parallelogram(5,6,'*') 
  
•     ******
•    ******
•   ******
•  ******
• ******
4. Write a timer that prints out every one tenth of a second. It should use the format: Hours:Minutes:Seconds.fraction
•  For example, 00:00:00.0, 00:00:00.1, 00:00:00.2, etc.
• Clarification: use the module time and the function time.sleep
• time.sleep(1)  ## will pause for one second
