#The problem
#This is your first interactive programming task, so let's have some fun with the user! You want to write a program that automatically combines two names given by the user.
# That's an open-ended problem statement, so let's add a few more details and restrictions:
#That's an open-ended problem statement, so let's add a few more details and restrictions:
#Tell the user to give you two names in the format: FIRST LAST
#Show the user two possible new names in the format:FIRST LAST.
#The new first name is a combination of the first names given by the user, and the new last name is a combination of the last names given by the user.
#For example, if the user gives you Alice Cat and Bob, a possible mashup is Bolice Dot.
