  //////////////////////////////////////////////////
  

  Creates a 50-character header with the title "MY PROJECT" centered using /.

• Custom Symbol and Length:

  headers -s "#" -l 60 "My Header"

  ############################################################
  ######################## MY HEADER ########################
  ############################################################
