39 PointsHow do I define a string variable named firstName, that stores your name? I need to set the value to your name.
I am really confused, even though I watched the video 3 times now. Any help would be appreciated!
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstname ="firstName";
console.printf ("Hi, my name is %s\n", firstName)

Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing just fine! For Step 1 of the challenge they've only asked you to declare a String variable named firstName. Instead, you've declared a variable named firstname. Note the capitalization. You can omit the console.printf for Step 1. The reason you're getting a compiler error is because you've forgotten a semicolon on the end of the printf statement. Remember, all statements in Java must end with a semicolon.
Hope this helps!
