Get Initial (Out: initial)                                                                                Level 1
Read initial, skipping leading blanks

Print Last (No parameters)
Find last name
Print name

Print Initial (In: initial)
Print ,, initial, .

Find Last (Out: First character of last name)                                        Level 2
Skip rest of first name
Read first character of last name, skipping
  leading blanks

Print Name (In: First character of last name)
WHILE ch !=\n
  Print ch
  Read ch

Skip First Name (No parameters)                                                            Level 3
Skip characters up to first blank

This design goes to four levels. We can see from the design that Get Initial, Print Initial, and Skip First Name are only one line of C++ code each. (Skip First Name can be implemented as a call to the cin.ignore function.)
