Create a 'String' that is centred within a fixed-width area [e.g. a line
assumed to be 80 characters in length] by being padded with space [or other
suitable] characters on either side.
Some code just to get you started:
public class MyFirstProgram
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String centredLine =
centreText(80, "A CENTRE TITLE", ' ');
System.out.println(centredLine);
}
public static String centreText(int lineLength, String text, char
padCharacter)
{
// Fill with code ...
}
}
I hope this helps.
