String firstName = Console.readLine("What is your name? "); What is wrong with this code?

after declaring a variable named the camel-cased version of first name, can't store user's first name using console.readLine

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.

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

Console should be lowercase.
