Lord Mux has returned with another request. He would like to see how good we are at naming rocketships. Your task is to build a C++ program that generates a spaceship name adhering to the following format:

Digi-[MISSION NO] [CODENAME] Mk. [REVISION]

However, due to the poor attention span of the Muxian population, you are only allowed to ask the user two questions.

The first question shall ask for the CODENAME, which can be any single word.

The second question shall ask for a MODIFIER, which should be a single whole number.

You will generate the remaining two parameters by the following rules:

MISSION NO - The number of characters in CODENAME concatenated with the string representation of MODIFIER. For example, if CODENAME is Raven and MODIFIER is 20, then MISSION NO should be 520.

REVISION - The integral value of MISSION NO multiplied by 16 (as Muxians have 16 fingers to count on).

Additional requirements The final name of the rocketship should be stored in a single std::string variable before being output to the terminal.

Example Execution​

Welcome to the Rocketship Name Generator 9000!

Enter a CODENAME: Raven
Enter a MODIFIER: 20

Your new rocketship name is:
Digi-520 Raven Mk. 8320

Hints​

If you are stuck on generating CODENAME or MODIFIER, see example Personal details.

If you are stuck on generating MISSION NO, see example Team Name.

If you are stuck on generating REVISION, see example Numbers and Strings.
