did you forget to pass the 'lastName' parameter

I did the same thing as firstName but it didn't work for lastName.i don't know whats wrong with this code.

Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "Last name: " followed by the last name that the user has entered. Bummer! Did you forget to pass the lastName parameter to the printf function? 

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName=console.readLine("What is your first name?  ");
console.printf("my name is %s\n",firstName);
String lastName=console.readLine("What is your last name?  ");
console.printf("first name: %s\n",firstName);
console.printf("last name: %s\n",lastName);

[MOD: added ```java formatting -cf]
