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

String firstName = console.readLine();
Then the latter parts of the challenge want you to print the value of variables using printf, which is done by:
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
