A random name generator.

★☆☆

A random name generator can be useful for creating dummy data for test purposes.

Make

Write a program to output a random name from one list of forenames and another list of surnames.

Success Criteria

Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, selection or iteration statement to explain its purpose.

Complete the subprogram called `generate_name` that:

Assigns an array of forenames. You can use the names: Muhammad, Noah, Jack, Lily, Sophia, Olivia or some of your own.
Assigns an array of surnames. You can use the names: Wang, Smith, Devi, Jones, Kim and Rodríguez or some of your own.
It returns a random forename with a space and a random surname.

Complete the main program so that:

It runs an interactive loop: each empty input prints a new random name, and the input end ends the program.

Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:

Press Enter to generate a new name, or input 'end' to quit.

Lily Rodríguez

Sophia Devi
end

Send an empty line of stdin to generate a name, and end to quit.
