Question

Write a function named "hasDashOnBothSides" that accepts parameters of the
same as command line arguments (argc and argv). It returns true if all of the
arguments have a '-' on both the beginning and ending of the arguments and false
otherwise. If it has no argument, it will return true.

In addition, this function also returns another boolean value of true when one of
the arguments is just a dash ('-') and false otherwise.

Please note that you cannot use string class, string methods such length() or
size() or any string function such as strlen(). Please use only array notation,
pointer to character, and/or pointer arithmetic and make use of the fact that this is
a C-string.

Please show how you would call and test this function. One simple way is to
accept command line arguments or the other is to simply hard-code values of the
array and call this function. Please print out the results of what this function
returns.

If there is no argument, it will return true and false
If the argument is just "-", it will return true and true
If the arguments are "-", "-help-" and "--", it will return true and true
If the arguments are "-help-" and "--", it will return true and false
If the arguments are "-help" and "-help-", it will return false and false.
If the argument is just "-h", it will return false and false.
