int main ()

//----- DecryptCipherString() ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Decrypts a ciphertext string and returns the decrypted plaintext character. This function is basically a big
// if-elseif-elseif-... statement.
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
???
???
    // Define a char variable named 'plainchar' and initialize it to the space character ' '.
    ???

    // If pCipherString is equal to the string " ** *" Then
    //     plainchar <- 'A'
    ???

    // Else if pCipherString is equal to the string " * *" Then
    //     plainchar <- 'B'
    ???

    // Else if pCipherString is equal to the string " ***" Then
    //     plainchar <- 'C'
    ???

    // ... and so on for each of the remaining characters.
    ???

    // Return plainchar
    ???

// End the function

//----- ReadCipherString () ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// When this function is called, the input stream pointer is pointing at the beginning of a ciphertext string
// which consists of five star and space characters, e.g.,
//
// + -- These are characters in the file which have already been read and processed.
// |
// |   +---+--- A ciphertext "character" is actually a 5-char string containing '*' and ' ' chars.
// |   |   |
// V   V   V
// .....* * *.....
//      ^      ^
//      |      |
//      |      +-- These are characters in the file which we have not read yet
//      |
//      +-- This is the position of the input stream pointer
//
// What we need to do is read the five characters starting at the position of the input stream pointer and turn
// these five characters into a string object which we will return. This can be accomplished by writing a count-
// ing loop which executes five times. Each time through the loop we read a single character using the input
// stream get() function -- we use get() because it reads and returns spaces. For each character that we read,
// we stick it onto the end of a string object using the string concatenation operator. After doing this five
// times, we have a five character string containing the stars and spaces.

    // Define and instantiate a string object named 'cipherstring' and initialize this string object to the empty
    // string with the assignment operator.
    ???

    // Write the first line of a counting loop (using a for loop) which executes five times, i.e., initialize an
    // int variable named 'cnt' to 1, and each time through the loop, increment 'cnt'. Keep looping as long as
    // 'cnt' is less than or equal to 5.
    ???

        // Call pFin.get() to read a single character. Store the character into a char variable named ch.
        // You need to define ch.
       ???

        // Concatenate ch onto the end of cipherstring using the string concatenation operator +.
        ???

    // End the for loop.
    ???

    // Return cipherstring.
    ???

// End the function
