   • Change leading spaces with leading zeroes.
   • Count the number of word in a sentence
2. Make a procedure to replace a substring within a string with another substring.
3. Revise the makewin procedure in chapter 5. Use fillchar instead of dirty loops.

Entertainment (30 min)

4. Make a text animation. Display a sentence in the center of the screen. Let all characters fall one by one. Skip the spaces !
