Why am i getting this error i tried this code in workspace with import java.io.console and it works fine but this right here doesn't
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console
public class Introductions {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Console console = System.console();
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your name? ");
console.printf("Hi, %s welcome to DineOUT\n", firstname);
console.printf("You can access the food in the menu %s\n", firstname);
}
}

Welcome to Treehouse!
For the challenge you don't need to create a class or do anything that isn't being asked in the instructions. So, if it requests to read in some data with console.readLine, that is all you have to do.
Also, you are defining your variable as firstName and calling it with the string formatter as firstname. Variables in Java are case sensitive.
Happy coding,
Ken
