// Draw Square
// Draw a square inside of a square

// draw_square(outer, inner)

// Given:
// Outer = size of outer square
// Inner = size of inner square
// Outer > Inner >= 1

// Output:
// String representation of inner and outer squares

// Ex:

// draw_square(5, 3)
// -----
// -+++-
// -+++-
// -+++-
// -----

// draw_square(6, 3)
// ------
// -+++--
// -+++--
// -+++--
// ------
// ------

// draw_square(5, 1)
// -----
// -----
// --+--
// -----
// -----

// draw_square(2, 1)
// +-
// --

// draw_square(4, 3)
// xxx-
// xxx-
// xxx-
// ----

// xxx-
// +-

// 4 - 2 = 2 => ++ --
// -++- // -
// -+-
// 6 - 3 = 3 / 2 = 1 || 2
// -+++--

//

// p: num, num
// r: string
