Problem Statement

Create a `Book` class with `title` and `author`. Overload the `__str__` method to return a user-friendly string: ‘[Title] by [Author]’. Read the inputs, instantiate the book, and print the object directly using `print(book)`.

Input Format

Two lines: Title on the first, Author on the second.

Output Format

Print the formatted string.

Constraints

None

Sample Input

1984
George Orwell

Sample Output

1984 by George Orwell

Explanation

The `__str__` method defines what is displayed when an object is passed to `print()` or `str()`, aimed at end users.

Starter Code

class Book:
    # Define __init__ and __str__
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    t = input().strip()
    a = input().strip()
    # Instantiate and print
    pass
