Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
Console console = System.console();
String Firstname = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("My name is %s.\n",firstName);

Two things here. First, if you click on the Preview button you'll see the errors it is throwing. It's unhappy with the redeclaration of console. This variable already exists so there's no need to create it; you can just use it. So, delete your first line of code.
Second, the variable name needs to be camel case, so start with a lower case f and capitalise the N of Name so you end up with firstName.
That'll get you through the first task.
Steve.
