In this challenge, you will practice manipulating strings by extracting and transforming specific parts of a Java `String`. This exercise will help you reinforce your understanding of **reference types** and common string operations, which are essential skills when working with user input or formatting output.

Suppose you are given a person's full name in the format `First Last` (for example, `John Doe`). Your task is to extract the first letter of each name part, convert them to uppercase, and print them together as the person's initials. If the input is `John Doe`, the output should be `JD`. You will use string methods such as `split`, `charAt`, and `toUpperCase` to accomplish this.

package com.example;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertEquals;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.DisplayName;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

public class MainTest {

    @Test
    @DisplayName("Returns initials for John Doe")
    void testReturnsInitialsJohnDoe() {
        String result = Main.getInitials("John Doe");
        assertEquals("JD", result, "Expected initials 'JD' for input 'John Doe', but got: '" + result + "'");
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("Returns initials for Alice Smith")
    void testReturnsInitialsAliceSmith() {
        String result = Main.getInitials("Alice Smith");
        assertEquals("AS", result, "Expected initials 'AS' for input 'Alice Smith', but got: '" + result + "'");
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("Returns initials for mary ann")
    void testReturnsInitialsMaryAnn() {
        String result = Main.getInitials("mary ann");
        assertEquals("MA", result, "Expected initials 'MA' for input 'mary ann', but got: '" + result + "'");
    }

    @Test
    @DisplayName("Returns initials for Bob O'Reilly")
    void testReturnsInitialsBobOReilly() {
        String result = Main.getInitials("Bob O'Reilly");
        assertEquals("BO", result, "Expected initials 'BO' for input 'Bob O'Reilly', but got: '" + result + "'");
    }
}
