const http = require('http');
  
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;

http.createServer((req, res) => {
    const queryObject = url.parse(req.url,true).query;
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
    res.end(queryObject.age + ' ' + queryObject.name);
}).listen(PORT, () => console.log(`Server started on port ${PORT}`));
