Java Basics: Code Challenge - step 2 of 4 (Stage One)

Not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Step one was accepted no problem, but I get compiler errors when I add the lastName variable.

Here's my code:

String firstName = console.readLine("What's your name? "); String lastName = console.readLine("And your last name? ");

I removed the apostrophe and it worked fine.

I ran your code and it works for me. It works on both challenge 1 and 2/4
