## Get Query Parameter Input from the Client

<!-- The article goes here, in GitHub-flavored Markdown. Feel free to add YouTube videos, images, and CodePen/JSBin embeds  -->

Given the hint after the stub, "/name?first=<firstname>&last=<lastname>," we can build the response like so:

```javascript
 app.get("/name", function(req, res) {
   var firstName = req.query.first;
   var lastName = req.query.last;
   // Send the json object
 });
```
