To solve this, you can break the problem into a few manageable steps. Let’s first tackle the task of printing a string based on the width and height given by the user.

The approach is to loop over the string, break it into rows according to the width, and then print those rows based on the given height. Here’s an implementation for your task:

Function to print the string with given width and height:

def print_formatted_string(string, width, height):
    # Split the string into rows of the specified width
    rows = [string[i:i + width] for i in range(0, len(string), width)]

    # Print the first 'height' number of rows
    for i in range(min(height, len(rows))):
        print(rows[i])

Explanation:

1. Split the string into rows: We create a list of rows where each row is a substring of the string with the specified width.
2. Print the rows: We then print the rows up to the specified height. If there are fewer rows than the specified height, the function will print all available rows.

Example usage:

# Example 1
string1 = '<..vvv..^'
width1 = 3
height1 = 3
print_formatted_string(string1, width1, height1)
# Output:
# <..
# vvv
# ..^

# Example 2
string2 = '.<.>>>..v'
width2 = 2
height2 = 4
print_formatted_string(string2, width2, height2)
# Output:
# <.
# vv
# .v
# .v

For the second task, which involves returning a specific row:

def get_row(string, row, width, height):
    # Split the string into rows of the specified width
    rows = [string[i:i + width] for i in range(0, len(string), width)]

    # Return the requested row if it exists
    if row < len(rows):
        return rows[row]
    else:
        return ''

Example usage:

# Example 1
string1 = '.<.>>>..v'
row1 = 1
width1 = 3
height1 = 3
print(get_row(string1, row1, width1, height1))
# Output: >>>

# Example 2
string2 = '.v>..>..'
row2 = 0
width2 = 2
height2 = 8
print(get_row(string2, row2, width2, height2))
# Output: .v

Explanation:

• get_row: This function returns a specific row from the list of rows formed by splitting the string. It handles cases where the row might be out of bounds by returning an empty string if the requested row exceeds the number of available rows.
