Be careful about output printing format there is a blank line between test cases.

The solution for this is written in python:

r = int(input())
for i in range(0,r):
    line =list(map(int,input().strip().split(' ')))
    a=line[0]
    b=line[1]
    for i in range(0,a):
        for j in range(0,b):
            if i ==0 or i==a-1:
                if j!=b-1:
                    print('*', end='')
                else :
                    print('*')
            else :
                if j==0 or j==b-1:
                    if j==b-1:
                        print('*')
                    else:
                        print('*',end='')
                else:
                    print('.',end='')
    print()

           

Input:
