// Chapter 5 - Programming exercise 5
// This is the header file for a name class that can store a name in
// three parts and provide a string in any of four different formats
// which can be used in any database requiring named of persons.
// It is not immediately obvious, but it can also be used to store
// the name of a city, county, state combination also and provide a
// string in the correct format to be used in a location program.
