It says, "Add a variable to store a user’s first name using console.readLine. Make sure the variable is the camel cased representation of "first name"
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.

Welcome to Treehouse!
If we break this task down into little bits, we have:
1) We need a camel case representation for a String variable named "first name," String firstName
2) We need to get input from a user via the console.readLine() function and pass it to our variable. Let's be nice and add in some prompting text.
String firstName = console.readLine("Please enter your first name: ");
That will print out Please enter your first name: to the console and accept a string value in as a response.
Please post back if you are still stuck.
Happy coding,
Ken

to add a value like your first name to a variable via the console.readLine method you have to actually first declare the variable:
"private String theVariable;"
after that you can define or specify it with a certain value. Actually you're putting a value into it by a user prompt with the console.readLine().
if you don't have a clue yet: "private String firstName = console.readLine("Please enter your first name: ");" is what you should write to solve the challenge.
Be sure to review the video once or twice before posting a question. I do this aswell because I might missed out a particular information aswell.
