$2,2-dimethylheptane$ $"2,2-dimethylheptane"$

${(H_{3} C)}_{3} C - C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{2} C H_{3}$ $(H_3C)_3C-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$

I think I've got this right. The longest chain is $7 C$ $7C$ long, substituted at $C_{2}$ $C_2$ by two methyl groups.

How do we name...(H3C)3C−CH2CH2CH2CH2CH3(H_3C)_3C-CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3?
