Haskell Input Output

Question

Is it possible using's Haskell's input and output to be able to capture and store user entered data into variables?

For example if user was asked a question:

Enter your firstname: Ben, then firstname = Ben, Enter your surname: Davies, then surname = Davies

And finally a print statement to concatenate the 2 variables ie. firstname ++ surname = Ben Davies?

Thanks in advance for the help!
