What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, I got stuck on the last one because of a space, and now I'm not sure what I've done wrong on the second part of the test. I've re-watched the video but it's gotten to the point where my brain isn't working through this anymore. I've gone through different posts relating to similar exercises but I don't think there's one for this one.

If anyone could provide just enough of a hint as to what I'm doing wrong to be able to solve it. Not looking to copy and paste the awnser.

Thankyou everyone!

CodeChallenge.cs 
string firstName;

firstName = console.Readline();

string entry = Console.Readline();

Console.WriteLine(firstName);

The hints i'll give is that your solution contains one line of code that the challenge never asked you to write, including code not explicitly asked for will often cause problems. So look at what the challenge text actually asks for and compare that to the code written. The second hint is that you have two typos in your second line of code, which has to do with capitalization of certain words.

string firstName = Console.ReadLine();

You should use 'Console', not 'console'. You should use 'ReadLine', not 'Readline'.
