+#This program stores user inputed names in a list and sorts them alphabetically
+
+
+
+#Accepts user input of how many names to be stored
+number_of_names = int(input('Enter no of total names to input: '))
+
+#Declaration of empty list to store each name after each iteration
+allnames_list = []
+
+
+#Loop to request user input, range is dependent on how many names user wishes to store
+for i in range(number_of_names):   
+    #Accepts user input
+    firstname = input('Enter first name: ').capitalize() #.capitalize changes first letter in word to Caps
+    lastname = input('Enter last name: ').capitalize()
+    
+    print(f'Stored') #Just to alert user that name has beeen saved
+    fullname = f"{firstname} {lastname}"  #f string that joins(concatenates) firstname and lastname together into new variable fullname
+
+    #adds each fullname to already declared list
+    allnames_list.append(fullname)
+
+
+#sorts out the list alphabetically 
+allnames_list.sort()
+
+#prints the output
+print(allnames_list)

+
+#Challenges
+#1. List was storing only the name of the last loop
+
+# I was able to solve that by checking help from chatgpt
+# i just had to simply use the append method to add every outcome to the list aftr each iteration.
+
+#2. Making the letter of the firstname capital
+
+# I forgot to add () to the .upper method. Very silly mistake
+# well it didn't work instead firstname was returning only the first capital letter of the user's input'
+
+# I later solved this by using .capitalize() as that is it's specific function
+#.upper makes the whole word in caps while .title()- makes the first letter of every word present in capital
+
+#3. Arranging alphabetically by first name
+# I actually thought this would be an issue but i was surprised python already had a .sort method for that
+# .sort() - sorts the list while .sorted()- sorts the list but in a new list
