To make telephone numbers easier to remember, some companies use letters to show their telephone number. For example, using letters, the telephone number 438-5626 can be shown as GET LOAN. In some cases, to make a telephone number meaningful, companies must see more than seven letters. For example, 255-5466 can be displayed as CALL HOME, which uses eight letters.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter a telephone expressed in letters and outputs the corresponding telephone number in digits. If the user enters more than seven letters, then process only the first seven letters. Also output the - (hyphen) after the third digit. Allow the user to use both uppercase and lowercase letters as well as spaces between words.

Modify to accept a telephone number with any number of letters. The output should display a hyphen after the first 3 digits and subsequently a hyphen (-) after every four digits. Also, modify the program to process as many telephone numbers as the user wants.
