I tried to create a new variable equal to the user input, but I got an error I don't understand.
JavaTester.java:87: error: method readLine in class MockConsole cannot be applied to given types;
String firstName = console.readLine();
^
required: String,Object[]
found: no arguments
reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length
1 error
Why doesn't it like the . between console and readLine?
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine();
When I put things in the parentheses I get this error:
JavaTester.java:88: error: cannot find symbol
String lastName = console.readline("What is your last name");
^
symbol: method readline(String)
location: variable console of type MockConsole
1 error

1,161 PointsIt seems that you forgot to capitalize the L in readLine in your second attempt. Your idea was correct, the readLine method asks for an input parameter. So, if you fix that littly typo, it should work out :)
