#
#  Around the world, abaci have been used in pre-schools and elementary
#
# In Western countries, a bead frame similar to the Russian abacus but
# with straight wires and a vertical frame has been common (see image).
# Helps schools as an aid in teaching the numeral system and arithmetic

# TASK:
# Define a procedure print_abacus(integer) that takes a positive integer and prints a visual representation (image) of an abacus setup for a given positive integer value.
# 任务：
# 定义一个函数print_abacus(整数)，向它传入一个正整数，打印出与该给定值相对应算盘的图形。
