For the 4th Line I understand the problem is the variable, but I don't understand how to get to the solution.

For the 4th Line

band = console.readLine("Which band? " );

I exchange band for firstName because it's variable but it still doesn't work.

FixMe.java 
String firstName = "Gordon";

String lastName = "Sumner";

console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Hi sara oren,

Task 4 to the untrained eye looks fine but the one thing it's missing is a type declaration before band which every variable requires unless your reassigning an already created variables value, simply add String before band and the challenge should pass.

String band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Happy coding!
