#code

#required method. assuming name always contain at least
#one letter, or else, IndexError will be raised
def sortMusic(name):
    #getting first letter of the name
    firstLetter=name[0]
    #printing name and first letter
    print "%s starts with the letter %s." % (name,firstLetter)



#testing the method, ignore if you are testing method from terminal window
sortMusic('Khalid') #will print "Khalid starts with the letter K."
sortMusic('Lizzo') #will print "Lizzo starts with the letter L."

#output
