IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName=console.readLine("What is your name?  ");

Hello

So far you are correct, the next step is asking you to print the firstName to the console, using the console method.

// Step 1
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name?");
// Step 2
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name?");
// Step 3
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
