    if(height == 0) return;
    else if(width == 0) {
        puts("");
        make_block(c, w, height-1, w);
    } else {
        cout<<c;
        make_block(c, width-1, height, w);
    }

}

int main()

    char c;
    while(cin>>c>>width>>height){
        make_block(c, width, height, width);
    }
