Instructions

Write a program that takes an undefined number of arguments which could be considered as options and writes on the standard output a representation of those options as groups of bytes followed by a newline.

• An option is an argument that begins by a - and have multiple characters which could be :

  • abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

• All options are stocked in a single int and each options represents a bit of that int, and should be stocked like this :

  • 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
  • ******zy xwvutsrq ponmlkji hgfedcba

• Launching the program without arguments or with the -h flag activated must print all the valid options on the standard output, as shown on one of the following examples.

• A wrong option must print "Invalid Option" followed by a newline.
