Print out to the screen using the printf method on console, "First name: " and the user's first name. (this is the challenge)
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine( "Tell me your first name ");
console.printf("Hello %s\n", firstName);
console.printf("$s you are doing it great man\n",firstName);
String lastName = console.readLine( "Tell me your last name ");
console.printf("Hello %s\n", lastName);
console.printf("%s you are doing it great man\n",lastName);
String firstName = "Guy";
console.printf("Hello %s\n", firstName);

When it comes to challenges, try to stick to what it asks you to do. This should be all the code you have:
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name? ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);
