What am I doing wrong here? I keep getting " Did you forget to pass firstName into console.printf function"

String firstName = "Michelle"; console.readLine(firstName); String lastName = "Huang"; console.readLine(lastName); console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = "Michelle";
console.readLine(firstName);
String lastName = "Huang";
console.readLine(lastName);
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

I think you were confused on what the question is asking. You need to read the information that the user enters and store it in firstName and lastName. I'll help you with the first part, but I'll challenge you to finish the last part.

String firstName = console.readLine();
//*Enter your code for last name here*
console.printf("First name: %s",firstName);
