Issues with 2nd task using console.readline

For the first task, I wrote --> String firstName = console.readLine ("fong"); And it worked.

For the second task, I wrote --> String lastName = console.readLine ("vang"); After checking, I am being told that task 1 is no longer working.
I cant seem to continue.

Thanks.

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readline("fong");
String lastName = console.readline("vang");

the method is readLine, not readline. it's throwing an error for me on task 1 when i use readline. i should add it often says a previous task is no longer passing when you introduce an error in the current task.
