Declare another variable, naming this one the camel-cased version of "last name". Use console.readLine to store the user

i didnt understand what does it mean

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName=console.readLine("whats your name  ");
String firstName=console.readLine("last name  ".);

try

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName=console.readLine("whats your name  ");
String lastName=console.readLine("last name  ");

You have a duplicate variable name and have an unnecessary '.' character.
