Objectives

Get comfortable with simple output, variables, and data types by practicing them in a simple program. Learn how to submit assignments on GitHub.

Part 1

Write a program initials.c to print your initials formed by rows of pound signs. For instance:

      ###         ###     ###
      ###         ###     ###
