# Instructions

`Two-fer` or `2-fer` is short for two for one.
One for you and one for me.
Your task is to determine what you will say as you give away the extra cookie.

Given a name, return a string with the message:
If your friend likes cookies, and is named Do-yun, then you will say:

```text
One for name, one for me.
One for Do-yun, one for me.
```

Where "name" is the given name.

However, if the name is missing, return the string:
If your friend doesn't like cookies, you give the cookie to the next person in line at the bakery.
Since you don't know their name, you will say _you_ instead.

```text
One for you, one for me.
```

Here are some examples:

|Name |String to return
|Name |Dialogue
|:-------|:------------------
|Alice |One for Alice, one for me.
|Bob |One for Bob, one for me.
|Bohdan |One for Bohdan, one for me.
| |One for you, one for me.
|Zaphod |One for Zaphod, one for me.

# Introduction

In some English accents, when you say "two for" quickly, it sounds like "two fer".
Two-for-one is a way of saying that if you buy one, you also get one for free.
So the phrase "two-fer" often implies a two-for-one offer.

Imagine a bakery that has a holiday offer where you can buy two cookies for the price of one ("two-fer one!").
You go for the offer and (very generously) decide to give the extra cookie to a friend.
