#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{
// normal variable and array with their respective data type remember that the last array's index must be reserved for null character
char name[11], name1[11], sex;
// write to the standard output
cout<<"\nEnter your first name (max 10 characters): ";
// read from the standard input
cin>>name;
cout<<"Enter your last name (max 10 characters): ";
cin>>name1;
cout<<"\nEnter your sex (M or F): ";
cin>>sex;
// test whether male or female
if (sex == 'M')
// array name without brackets is the pointer to the first array's element
cout<<"\nHow are you, Mr. "<<name<<" "<<name1<<endl;
else
cout<<"\nHow are you, Ms/Mrs. "<<name<<" "<<name1<<endl;
return 0;
