Banner

Question 3
The names of the teams participating in a competition should be displayed on a banner vertically, to accommodate as many teams as possible in a single banner. Design a program to accept the names of N teams, where 2 < N < 9 and display them in vertical order, side by side with a horizontal tab (i.e. eight spaces).
Test your program for the following data and some random data:

Example 1:

INPUT: N = 3
Team 1: Emus
Team 2: Road Rols
Team 3: Coyote

OUTPUT

E	R	C
m	o	o
u	a	y
s	d	o
		t
	R	e
	o
	l
	s
