Question

Can you help me to write this program in C++.

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: *****k**** * hello * * world * ********* Whereas the phrase "the sky is falling" might be: **********k * * 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 geed decent artist, now have l? *phbbt*) Also allow the user to specify what character you are to make the frame from. Typical choices would be e, #, *, +, x, X, o, or O. 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.
