​

Write a method called shortestName that accepts a Scanner for the console and an integer

n as parameters and prompts for n names, then prints the shortest name (the name that

contains the least characters) in the format shown below, which might result from a call

of shortestName(console, 4):

​

name #1? John

name #2? Van

name #3? David

name #4? Christine

Van's name is shortest
