Also, what does "the same info" mean?  Seriously, is "1111 somename"
the same?  Is "1111 Some Name" the same?  Is "1111 Some J. Name" the
same?  For a school assignment you may just be working with "nice"
data, but just be aware that in the real world "the same" can be a
very a messy concept!

Good luck!
