#queComputers are frequently used in check-writing systems, such as payroll
and accounts payable applications. Many stories circulate regarding weekly pay-
checks being printed (by mistake) for amounts in excess of $1 million. Weird
amounts are printed by computerized check-writing systems because of human
error and/or machine failure. Systems designers, of course, make every e?ort to
build controls into their systems to prevent erroneous checks from being issued.
Another serious problem is the intentional alteration of a check amount by some-
one who intends to cash it fraudulently. To prevent a dollar amount from being
altered, most computerized check-writing systems employ a technique called check
protection.
Checks designed for imprinting by computer contain a xed number of spaces in
which the computer may print an amount. Suppose a paycheck contains nine
blank spaces in which the computer is supposed to print the amount of a weekly
paycheck. If the amount is large, then all nine of those spaces will be lled|for
example:
11,230.60 (check amount)
---------
123456789 (position numbers)
On the other hand, if the amount is less than $1000, then several of the spaces will
ordinarily be left blank|for example,
99.87
---------
123456789
contains four blank spaces. If a check is printed with blank spaces, it is easier
for someone to alter the amount of the check. To prevent a check from being
altered, many check-writing systems insert leading asterisks to protect the amount
as follows:****99.87
---------
123456789
Write a program that inputs a dollar amount to be printed on a check and then
prints the amount in check-protected format with leading asterisks if necessary.
Assume that nine spaces are available for printing an amount.stion..
