Write a program that takes a string and displays its first word, followed by a
newline.
A word is a section of string delimited by spaces/tabs or by the start/end of
the string.
If the number of parameters is not 1, or if there are no words, simply display
a newline.
Examples:
$> ./first_word "FOR PONY" | cat -e
FOR$
$> ./first_word "this ... is sparta, then again, maybe not" | cat -e
this$
$> ./first_word " " | cat -e
$
$> ./first_word "a" "b" | cat -e
$
$> ./first_word " lorem,ipsum " | cat -e
lorem,ipsum$
$>
