    Default i feel like a retard! Java noob

    I´ve been learning java for a week, yesterday while on bed, couldnt sleep i tought to myself, it would be a good excercise if i made a program where i would input the side of a square, then make the square representation.

    Anyway i tought i would do this like in 10m, i spent 3hours till i got it right, feel a complete retard and my motivation is damm low right now.


     
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    public class quadrado {
     
    	public static void main(String[] args) {
     
     
    		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    		int quadrado;
    		System.out.println("Insert Square Size");
    		quadrado = input.nextInt();
     
    		int counter = 1;
    		int total=1;
     
     
    		while(counter<quadrado){
     
    			counter++;	
    			total++;
     
     
    			System.out.print("O   ");
     
     
     
    		if(counter==quadrado){
     
    			System.out.println("O   ");
    			if((total)==(Math.pow(quadrado, 2))){break;}
     
    			counter=1;
    			total++;
    		}
    		}
    	}
    }

    Learning for only a week?
    Thinking about programming in your spare time?
    Curious enough to write a program just because you think you can?
    So you actually do it...and in only 3 hours...
    Does it work?
    ..If every beginner had your problems, schools would not exist..


    I entered 0, and nothing was printed as I expect.
    I was not happy with entering 1, I expected to see a single zero printed instead of nothing
    Other + integers worked as expected.

    Pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

    Perhaps troubleshoot and fix the code so that entering 1 will cause it to print a square of size 1 (a single zero).
    Try to write the program a different way but make it do the same thing.
    Modify the code so you can enter any letter of choice to build the square from instead of always 0.
