Question

Create a program which will read a phrase from the user and create a framed version of it for printing. For example, the phrase "hello world"would result in:

*********

* hello *

* world *

*********

Whereas the phrase "the sky is falling"might be:

***********

* the         *

* sky         *

* is            *

* falling     *

***********

Or:

***********

*     the     *

*     sky     *

*       is      *

*    falling  *

***********

Or even:

***********

*         the *

*         sky *

*            is *

*    falling *

***********

Depending on whether or not the user asked for left, centered, or right justification — respectively — of the phrase's words within the frame. Note how the frame exactly fits the phrase based on the longest word within. Neat, eh?

The phrase "O | -+- | /-\"when centered would become:

*******

*   O   *

*    |    *

*  -+-  *

*    |    *

*  /-\   *

*******

(Okay, so it's a sad excuse for a stick figure, but hey! I've never claimed to be a great good decent artist, now have I? *phbbt*)

Also allow the user to specify what character you are to make the frame from. Typical choices would be @, #, *, +, x, X, o, or O (use a menu for the user to tell you which character they'd like to use). But let them tell you anything that will print just fine. (Hint: cctype has a function called isprint that tells if a character is printable.)

Give them the option of reading phrases from the keyboard or a file they specify (assume each line of the input stream contains a single phrase).

The user should also be able to choose if the framed phrase is printed on the screen or into a file they specify.

In case it isn't clear, you should create a 'frame the phrase' class. It should have overloaded operators for at leastinput and output. (Although concatenation might prove interesting, too...)

Make sure the program meets all the requirements above!

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

 

1.#Begin


2.Phrase = input("Please Enter a Phrase:\t")

3.Position = input("Please Enter the position to be displayed for the Phrase which is entered:\nEnter (Center/Right/Left) : \t")

4.character = input("Please Enter the Character by which you wanted to construct the frame:\nPlease Enter (@,#,*,+,x,X,o or 0):\t")

5.#End

7.#Phrase is not eqaul to empty

8.if(Phrase!=""):

9.#When Position is not center right or left , Keeping frame in left position

10.if(Position.lower() != "center" and Position.lower() != "left" and Position.lower() != "right" ):

11.Position = "left"

else:

12.Position = Position.lower()

13.#When Character is not in the list given in the quesiont , Considering the default character as "*"

14.if(Character != "@" and Character != "#" and Character != "*" and Character != "+" and Character != "x" and

15.Character != "X" and Character != "o" and Character != "0"):

16.Character = "*"

else:

17.Character = Character

 

 

Step 2

 

       18.PhraseSplit = Phrase.split(" ")

       19.maxlength = 0 #defining the maxlength variable

       20.index = 0

       21.for word in PhraseSplit:

      22.if(len(word) > maxlength):

      23.maxlength = len(word)

      24.index = PhraseSplit.index(word)

      25.#To print the final output on the console

     26.print("\n"+Character*(maxlength+2))
          for word in PhraseSplit:

     27.print(Character,end="")#To print the message on console
          if(Position == "center"):

     28.print(word.center(maxlength," "),end="")#To print the word on center

    29.elif(Position == "right"):

    30.print(word.rjust(maxlength," "),end="")#To print the word on right

    31.elif(Position == "left"):

    32.print(word.ljust(maxlength," "),end="")#To print the word on left
         print(Character)

    33.print(Character*(maxlength+2))
