Designer Door Mat

Mr. Vincent works in a door mat manufacturing company. One day, he designed a new door mat with the following specifications:

  • Mat size must be NXM. (N is an odd natural number, and M is 3 times N.)
  • The design should have ‘WELCOME’ written in the center.
  • The design pattern should only use |. and - characters.
