**Question:** Provide the IUPAC name for the following compound:

**Chemical Structure:**
- The diagram shows a chain of carbon atoms with branching. 
- The main chain appears to be seven carbon atoms (a heptane chain).
- There are two branches:
  - A methyl group on the second carbon of the main chain.
  - A methyl group on the fifth carbon of the main chain.

**Answer Area:**
- A text input field is provided for the user to type the IUPAC name.
- There is a checkbox and two buttons. One button appears to be an "X" for clearing or cancelling the input, and the other shows a circular arrow, likely for resetting the input field.

To name the compound according to IUPAC rules:
1. Identify the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms (heptane).
2. Number the chain to give the substituents the lowest possible numbers.
3. Identify and name the substituents (methyl groups).
4. Combine the names into a single name, including locants and prefixes.
