**The puzzle**

Write a function p(n) that returns n^2

with n >-1

**Rules**

You can't use * or / (or power or square root operator if the language has one)

You can't use a loop or loop like constructions

You can't use POW or SQRT functions

Example

    Function p(n)
    Dim r()
    ReDim r(n)
    p = Len(Join(r, Space(n)))
    End Function

So be creative and (ab)use some functions/features ^^
