第一个版本

// ask for a person's name, and generate a framed greeting
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
	std::cout << "Please enter your first name: ";
	std::string name;
	std::cin >> name;

	// build the message that we intend to write
	const std::string greeting = "Hello, " + name + "!";

	// build the second and fourth lines of the output
	const std::string spaces(greeting.size(), ' ');
	const std::string second = "* " + spaces + " *";

	// build the first and fifth lines of the output
	const std::string first(second.size(), '*');

	// write it all
	std::cout << std::endl;
	std::cout << first << std::endl;
	std::cout << second << std::endl;
	std::cout << "* " << greeting << " *" << std::endl;
	std::cout << second << std::endl;

	const int rows = pad*2 + 3;

	cout<<endl;

	for(int r = 0; r != rows; ++r)
	{

		while(c != cols)
