cross text

hwuy (34)
hello i am tring to make something that takes a string (name of person) and
crosses them like this

b b
o
b b

this would cross the letter bob and they share the middle letter and if it was a even number they would share the next closest letter like this
b b
i i
l
l l
here is the name bill which has a even number of letters.
so i know i would have to use dynamic memory for it to have enough space for the name that wouldnt be to hard but the real problem is i would need a function
that would cross the two of the strings.

i think i would use character sequences so i could pace each letter but if you any thing better or a function that would print them accross please let me know.

What is crossing ? Do you just want to print the letters in a column, duplicating every except the middle one ?
pseudocode, since I don't know if you want to use std::string or char[].
middle = (name_length+1)/2 //+1 for rounding up
for i = 0 to name_length do
   print name[i]
   if i != middle then print name[i]
   print '\n'
end for

TC means like:
b b
 o
b b

or
b   b
 i i
  l
 l l

I would think.

what's TC ?

@OP, if that's the case, use the same logic as when printing a triangle. It might be best to consider printing top, middle and bottom as three separate tasks. Notice how many spaces each gal needs and how that number changes.
