I am having trouble finding the corrections in this part of the question

FixMe.java 
String firstName = "Gordon";
String lastName = "Sumner";

console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);
band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Hi there! You did great right up until the last line! But now you're using console.readLine to read in input from the user and assign it to a variable named band. And this would work perfectly, except that you never declared the variable band. So to do the the assignment and declaration on one line you first have to say what data type will be stored in that variable. See the first two lines of your code for a hint!

I hope this helps, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
