You code is correct but you have to separate two printf-s:

console.printf("First Name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last Name: %s", lastName);

Remember for future challenges, they are created in a consequent way, so that you don't need to change the old code you wrote.

You have to go task by task. Try to apply this kind of concept next time when you encounter problems ...

Also, image is nice to post a code, but Markdown here is nicer, so pasting code here would be also great :) Faster to find errors
