Make sure to capture results from readLine in String band

I am stuck on this one is cannot understand the error message.

FixMe.java 
String firstName = "Gordon";
String lastName = ("Summer");
console.printf("Hello I am %s", firstName);
console.readLine("My surname is %s", lastName);

So I did the exercise here is what the original is

 Sting firstName = "Gordon";

 string lastName = "Sumner";

console.printf("Hello %s", firstName)

band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

here is what I fixed it too.

 String firstName = "Gordon";

String lastName = "Sumner";

console.printf("Hello %s", firstName);

String band = console.readLine("Which band?  ");

Im not exactly sure what your are asking but you need to declare that the band is a String

It was a little unclear to me but not that you posted the answer it makes sense.
