I believe that I am passing the string firstName here but the complier say, it is not happening. // I have imported java

// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console. String firstName = console.readLine ("What is your name? "); String lastName = console.readLine ("What is your last name? "); console.printf("First name:"); console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

IO.java
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine ("What is your name?  ");
String lastName = console.readLine ("What is your last name?  ");
console.printf("First name:");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

Your second printf statement is what is asked for and all you need. Delete the first one.
