What is wrong with this question

Question

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
    int n=0, row=0, column=0;
/*Add something to display on the screen*/
printf("Give a positive integer n, where n is between 2 and 9:\n");
scanf("%i", &n);
    while(column<=row){
        printf("*");
        printf("\n");
        column=2;}
        row=9;
}

Answer 1

Your code will output *

After you assign 2 to column the loop ends because 2 <= 0 is FALSE and then row gets assigned the value of 9.

Not sure what you are trying to do.

Answer 2

this is wrong "scanf("%i", &n);"
