What is wrong?

I don't see how it's wrong...

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

You missed a comma

console.printf("First name:%s", firstName);
//                            ^ Here

Hi there! very close you are just missing the comma in the printf method parameters here:

console.printf("First name:%s", firstName);

take care and happy coding!
