 *  Program Name:     Programming Project 4.6: Multiplication Table
 *  Author:           Terry Weiss
 *  Date Written:     September 25, 2015
 *  Course/Section:   CSC 111-003W
 *  Program Description:
 *     Design and implement an application that produces an arithmetic table, showing the
 *  results of a user-specified operation on the integers 1 through a user-defined maximum.
 *
 * Edit: Removed requiring a space in `operator` in `makeTable()` and formatted it in instead.
