Program 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: ********* * 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. But let them tell you anything that will print just fine. (Hint: cctype has a function calledisprint 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...) Also, add a choice of frame types: single line, double line, or shaded.
