import java.util.Scanner; // import the Scanner

  public static void main(String[] args) {	
	  
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    
    //Variables 
    String Name;
    String Last;
    
    // Enter first & last name
    // Press Enter after
    System.out.println("Enter First & Last Name"); 
    Name = input.nextLine();  
    Last = input.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Full Name is: " + Name + " " + Last);
