Create a new variable called name and accept input from the console using the readLine method.

This is my lines of code to accomplish the task above

Console name=System.console(); System.out.println("Enter your name: "); String name1=name.readLine();

Multiple.java 
// I've imported java.io.Console for you.  It is stored in a variable called console for you.

Console name=System.console();
System.out.println("Enter your name: ");
String name1=name.readLine();

All you need is 

String name = console.readLine("Name: ");

because it says there is already a variable named console for you.
