Did you forget to pass the `lastName` parameter to the printf function?

So I've been cracking my brain over this and can't seem to see where I am going wrong. It's exactly the same as the 'firstName' challenge. What am I doing wrong her?

IO.java 
String firstName = console.readLine("What Is Your First Name:  ");
console.readLine(firstName); // remove this
console.printf("First name: %s/n", firstName);

String lastName = console.readLine("What Is Your Last Name:  ");
console.readLine(lastName); // remove this
console.printf("Last name: %s/n", lastName);

Hi there,

The challenge is complaining about the extra lines of code. If you remove the lines where I have added a comment in your code, you will pass the challenge. Those two lines don't add anything but they will prompt for unexpected user input which the challenge isn't expecting.

Steve.
