Hey Jean,

Welcome to treehouse!

I tried what you were doing and was temporarily confused as well but what you have to do is pass in text inside the input field. So for example 

String name = console.readLine("What is your name?");

This occurs again in the next stage as well but now that you saw the above, you should be able to do it no problem.

Happy Coding!

Kevin
