Ravid;

You are close, but your syntax isn't quite right. We want to assign a string variable named firstName to the input and not output as you have it with WriteLine(). For this step of the challenge, then, we would change your code to look like:

string firstName = Console.ReadLine();

Post back with further questions and happy coding.
