Been at this for hours and cannot figure out how to get this the way I want.
I need it to center the text in the console output like this...
*******************************************
ABC Industries
Report
*******************************************
instead its coming out like this..
**********************************
ABC Industries
Report
**********************************
Here is what I got so far, any help will be gladly appreciated.
