Question

In Python, your program will read in a number (no need to prompt the user), and then reads in that number of lines from the terminal. Then the program should print an array of strings formatted in a nice regular box.

So if the user inputs this:

5
Grim visaged war has smooth’d his wrinkled front
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries
He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute

The program should print:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ Grim visaged war has smooth’d his wrinkled front +
+ And now, instead of mounting barded steeds       +
+ To fright the souls of fearful adversaries       +
+ He capers nimbly in a lady’s chamber             +
+ To the lascivious pleasing of a lute             +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hints

• Read in the number from the user with input(), then read that number of lines. Append each line that you read into a list of lines. If you don't remember how, Google "Python list append".
• Find the length of the longest line. That determines the width of the box.
• Then print the header row. The length of the header row depends on the length of the longest line.
• Print each line.
• For each line, you have to print some number of spaces at the end, depending on the difference between the length of the longest line and the length of the current line.
• You have to print some repeated characters.
  • "x" * n  returns "x" repeated n times.
  • For instance, "x" * 4 returns "xxxx".
• Then print the footer row. The length of the footer row depends on the length of the longest line.

Please refer below screenshot for indentation adn output. Explanation is given in comments of the code

Code:

def result(list1):
    length=0
    for i in list1: #for getting the maximum line
        if(len(i)>length):
            length=len(i)
    print("+"*(length+10))#header
    for i in list1:
        space=length-len(i) #except the large line other require spaces
        print("+ ",i," "*space,"+")#giving spaces
    print("+" * (length+10))#footer
n=int(input("Enter number of lines"))#taking input from user
list_of_lines=[]#list of lines
while(n!=0):#to read all lines
    string1=input()
    list_of_lines.append(string1)#appending
    n-=1
result(list_of_lines)#calling function to print result

Output:
