Problem 1
ASCII bar graphs

The input file DATA1.txt will contain 5 lines, integers -5 <= N <= 5

The output file OUT1.txt will plot the numbers as a graph. Each whole number gets an asterisk *; negative on the left of the central line drawn with pipes |, positive on the right. 0 does not get drawn. Empty spaces are filled with the minus sign - for alignment. See the sample graph for an example.

Sample Input:
-5
-4
0

Sample Output:
*****|-----
