--description--

Given strings for a person's name, title, and company, return an email signature as a single string using the following rules:

• The name should appear first, preceded by a prefix that depends on the first letter of the name. For names starting with (case-insensitive):
  • A-I: Use >> as the prefix.
  • J-R: Use -- as the prefix.
  • S-Z: Use :: as the prefix.
• A comma and space (, ) should follow the name.
• The title and company should follow the comma and space, separated by " at " (with spaces around it).

For example, given "Quinn Waverly", "Founder and CEO", and "TechCo" return "--Quinn Waverly, Founder and CEO at TechCo".

--hints--

generate_signature("Quinn Waverly", "Founder and CEO", "TechCo") should return "--Quinn Waverly, Founder and CEO at TechCo".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(generate_signature("Quinn Waverly", "Founder and CEO", "TechCo"), "--Quinn Waverly, Founder and CEO at TechCo")`)
}})

generate_signature("Alice Reed", "Engineer", "TechCo") should return ">>Alice Reed, Engineer at TechCo".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(generate_signature("Alice Reed", "Engineer", "TechCo"), ">>Alice Reed, Engineer at TechCo")`)
}})

generate_signature("Tina Vaughn", "Developer", "example.com") should return "::Tina Vaughn, Developer at example.com".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(generate_signature("Tina Vaughn", "Developer", "example.com"), "::Tina Vaughn, Developer at example.com")`)
}})

generate_signature("B. B.", "Product Tester", "AcmeCorp") should return ">>B. B., Product Tester at AcmeCorp".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(generate_signature("B. B.", "Product Tester", "AcmeCorp"), ">>B. B., Product Tester at AcmeCorp")`)
}})

generate_signature("windstorm", "Cloud Architect", "Atmospheronics") should return "::windstorm, Cloud Architect at Atmospheronics".

({test: () => { runPython(`
from unittest import TestCase
TestCase().assertEqual(generate_signature("windstorm", "Cloud Architect", "Atmospheronics"), "::windstorm, Cloud Architect at Atmospheronics")`)
}})
