You are declaring the firstName variable multiple times (which is invalid) and you are not declaring a variable called lastName like the task is instructing.

The code for the lastName variable looks just like the code for the firstName variable that you have already made, you just have to change the name of the variable like this:

String firstName = console.readLine("Enter your first name: ");
String lastName = console.readLine("Enter your last name: ");
