Instructions

In this exercise, you are going to help high school sweethearts profess their love on social media by generating an ASCII heart with their initials:

     ******       ******
   **      **   **      **
 **         ** **         **
**            *            **
**                         **
**     J. K.  +  M. B.     **
 **                       **
   **                   **
     **               **
       **           **
         **       **
           **   **
             ***
              *

1. Get the name's first letter

Implement the first_letter function. It should take a name and return its first letter. It should clean up any unnecessary whitespace from the name.

first_letter("Jane")
// -> "J"

2. Format the first letter as an initial

Implement the initial function. It should take a name and return its first letter, uppercase, followed by a dot. Make sure to reuse first_letter that you defined in the previous step.

initial("Robert")
// -> "R."

3. Split the full name into the first name and the last name

Implement the initials function. It should take a full name, consisting of a first name and a last name separated by a space, and return the initials. Make sure to reuse initial that you defined in the previous step.

initials("Lance Green")
// -> "L. G."

4. Put the initials inside of the heart

Implement the pair function. It should take two full names and return the initials inside an ASCII heart. Make sure to reuse initials that you defined in the previous step.

pair("Blake Miller", "Riley Lewis")
// -> "
//      ******       ******
//    **      **   **      **
//  **         ** **         **
// **            *            **
// **                         **
// **     B. M.  +  R. L.     **
//  **                       **
//    **                   **
//      **               **
//        **           **
//          **       **
//            **   **
//              ***
//               *
// "
