Please code in c++. I need help on this one.

Question

 Write a program that prompts users to enter:

 

o A character to use (any character besides *)

o The width of the display

o The height of the display

 

to produce an E shape. The middle horizontal line must print at line (height+1)/2. Validate user input to only be positive values and height must be at least 5 and width 2. Any invalid input must loop until a valid value is entered.

 

This is an example for width of 10 and height of 9

You must use separate functions to display the vertical and the horizontal lines.  

Answer 1

You can read the character, width and height with cin, which is overloaded for different datatypes, e.g.:

int width, height;

char c;

cout << "Enger the character: ";

cin >> c;

cout << "Enter the width: ";

cin >> width;

...

The functions to display the horizontal & vertical lines could look like:

void print_horizontal_line (char c, int width) {

for (int i=0; i<width; i++) {

cout << c ;

}

cout << endl;

}

void print_vertical_line (char c) {

cout << c << endl;

}

You'll need to create a loop in your main program to call get_horizontal_line() 3 times and

print_vertical_line() as many times as necessary.
