Program multiprint.cpp

I have written part of a program, in file multiprint.cpp. This program calls a function that does not exist. Your job is to write it, as a function template that signals an error by throwing an exception.

What to Do

1. Write a function template multiPrint in file multiprint.cpp, so that it conforms to the following specification.
   • multiPrint takes two parameters: an int named n, and another parameter that can be of any type.
   • If parameter n is negative, then the function throws an exception of type domain_error, with an explanatory message in the string member.
   • Otherwise, the function prints its second parameter to cout, n times, each on a separate line, ending with a newline. For example “multiprint(3, 42)” should print the following.

     42
     42
     42

2. Make it so that multiPrint treats its second parameter a bit differently if it is an int. In that case, the second parameter should be printed n times on each line. So “multiprint(3, 42)” will now print the following.

   42 42 42
   42 42 42
   42 42 42

   But “multiprint(2, "abc")” will still print the same thing as before.

   abc
   abc
