problem 1)
Given a string of length 50, move a shorter string to it,
e.g. "test string", finally right-justify the string, so that it
now holds:
"                                       test string"
The shorter string is not known at compile time.

problem 2)
Given a string char(50), replace all
EMBEDDED spaces with underscores,
but leave leading and trailing spaces alone.
E.g. "     this is a test      "
> should become   "     this_is_a_test      "

record for both problems
a) how long it took to code the solution
b) how long it takes to execute the solution 100,000 times
[only the actual work on the string, not the calling of
the program. Put a timing loop around the inner workings]
