# --description--
-Given a text file of many lines, where fields within a line are delineated by a single `$` character, write a program that aligns each column of fields by ensuring that words in each column are separated by at least one space. Further, allow for each word in a column to be either left justified, right justified, or center justified within its column.
+Given an array of many lines, where fields within a line are delineated by a single `$` character, write a program that aligns each column of fields by ensuring that words in each column are separated by at least one space. Further, allow for each word in a column to be either left justified, right justified, or center justified within its column.
# --instructions--
Use the following text to test your programs:
-
-Given$a$text$file$of$many$lines
-where$fields$within$a$line$
-are$delineated$by$a$single$'dollar'$character
-write$a$program
-that$aligns$each$column$of$fields
-by$ensuring$that$words$in$each$
-column$are$separated$by$at$least$one$space.
-Further,$allow$for$each$word$in$a$column$to$be$either$left$
-justified,$right$justified
-or$center$justified$within$its$column.
-
+```js
+const testText = [
+ 'Given$a$text$file$of$many$lines',
+ 'where$fields$within$a$line$',
+ 'are$delineated$by$a$single$"dollar"$character',
+ 'write$a$program',
+ 'that$aligns$each$column$of$fields',
+ 'by$ensuring$that$words$in$each$',
+ 'column$are$separated$by$at$least$one$space.',
+ 'Further,$allow$for$each$word$in$a$column$to$be$either$left$',
+ 'justified,$right$justified',
+ 'or$center$justified$within$its$column.'
+];
+```
**Note that:**
-
- - The example input texts lines may, or may not, have trailing dollar characters.
- - All columns should share the same alignment.
- - Consecutive space characters produced adjacent to the end of lines are insignificant for the purposes of the task.
- - Output text will be viewed in a mono-spaced font on a plain text editor or basic terminal.
- - The minimum space between columns should be computed from the text and not hard-coded.
- - It is not a requirement to add separating characters between or around columns.

+- All columns should share the same alignment.
+- Consecutive space characters produced adjacent to the end of lines are insignificant for the purposes of the task.
+- Output text will be viewed in a mono-spaced font on a plain text editor or basic terminal. Lines in it should be joined using new line character (`\n`).
+- The minimum space between columns should be computed from the text and not hard-coded.
+- It is not a requirement to add separating characters between or around columns.
