The input read by the program is stored as a string data type. A string is a collection of characters.

Solution

				
					def print_full_name(first, last):
    print(f"Hello {first} {last}! You just delved into python.")

# Read the first name and last name
first_name = input()
last_name = input()

# Call the print_full_name function with the first name and last name
print_full_name(first_name, last_name)

Explanation

We define a function called print_full_name that takes two strings as input: first for the first name and last for the last name.
Inside the function, we use an f-string to format and print the desired message. The f-string allows us to directly embed the values of first and last into the string using curly braces {}.
In the main part of the code, we read the first name and last name from input using the input() function.
We then call the print_full_name function, passing the first name and last name as arguments.
The function prints the desired message, which includes the formatted full name.
