Lab Exercise 6

Write a program in which you parse a long char array into strings. Print each string on a separate line. Do not use any <cstring> functions. Use <sstream> objects and functions and string functions only. Assume the char array is:

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy poodle.

Make sure you handle the period at the end of the text.

Output:

The
quick
brown
fox
jumped
over
the
lazy
poodle

Turn in or email your code and your program output.
