C While Statement Question

[d_leet]

Ok I'm starting to learn C and I'm working with while statements. I'm trying to write a program that will let me enter an integer and then make a square out of asterisks with that integer I entered being the number of asterisks on a side.

Like if I enter 5 I should get this:

*****

*****

*****

*****

*****

Yea it's kind of a rectangle but lets call it a square lol.

This is what I have but it only prints one line of asterisks

#include <stdio.h>

    int main() {
    
        int side;
        int counter1 = 1;
        int counter2 = 1;
        
        printf("Enter an integer: ");
        scanf("%d", &side);
        while(counter1 <= side) {
                
                while(counter2 <= side) {
                     
                     printf("*");
                     counter2++;
                     
                }
                
                
                counter1++;
                printf("\n");
        }
        printf("Enter 1 to quit");
        scanf("%d", &side);
        return 0;
    }

Thanks in advance.

Consider the value of counter2 after the first time through the outer loop.
