{
    std::ifstream file("names.txt");

        if(!file)
        {
            std::cerr << "Error: open file failed\n";
            return 1;
        }

    int namesCount;
    file >> namesCount;

    std::set<std::string> names;
    
    for(int i = 0; i < namesCount; ++i)
    {
        std::string name;
        file >> name;

        names.insert(name);
    }

    std::cout << "Front of the line: " << *names.begin() << "\n";
    std::cout << "End of the line:   " << *names.rbegin() << "\n";
