# 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 | ||

|Bob |One for Bob, 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. |
