Develop a function (displaySmart) to create smart output for CNode as described 
below and discussed in the class.

coef expo   output  output    case# conditions

            stand   smart

---- ----   ------  -------   ----  -----------------

 0      0    0*x^0   0         1     coef==0

 0      1    0*x^1   0

 0      2    0*x^2   0

 1      0    1*x^0  +1         2     coef<>0 and expo==0

 2      0    2*x^0  +2

 1      1    1*x^1  +x         3     coef==1 or coef==-1 and expo==1

-1      1   -1*x^1  -x

 1      2    1*x^2  +x^2       4     coef==1 or coef=-1 and expo>1

 1      3    1*x^3  +x^3

-1      4   -1*x^4  -x^4

 2      1    2*x^1  +2*x       5     coef>1 or coef<-1 and expo==1

 3      1    3*x^1  +3*x

-4      1   -4*x^1  -4*x

 2      2    2*x^2  +2*x^2     6     coef>1 or coef<-1 and expo>1

 2      3    2*x^3  +2*x^3

-2      4   -2*x^4  -2*x^4

Run enough iterations to cover each case specified above.

For each pair of coef and expo values display the following:

    values of coef and expo

    standard output

    case #

    smart output

    a blank line or a string of asterisks
