Line 6: Why "Console console"? Why is the word repeated?

You use Console to tell the type of the variable. In this case, we're making a new Console, so we need to tell the type is Console. If you are working with strings, the type would be String.

The second console is the name of the variable, but it doesn't have to be called console. In fact you can call it whatever you want, but in this case it makes most sense to call it console.

You should worry too much about this, this will be covered in depth in a future video/course.

I hope this helps

Happy coding!

java does type checking and when variables are declared their type must be declared as well, so here Console is a type and the variable name is console. it can only hold type Console or you will get a compile error.
