I'm confused about what this exercise is asking us to do. Are we suppose to have a print method that says "First name"?

My second thought was that it's asking us to combine the read and the print method.

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

String lastName = console.readLine("what's my last name?");

console.printf = ("First name");
