Treehouse TeacherHi there! You're doing fine, but there's a couple of things going on here. First, the challenge does not ask you to print anything to the console at this point, so you can safely remove that line. Secondly, the name of your variable doesn't exactly match the instructions. The instructions ask for a variable named firstName, but your variable is named FirstName. Remember, that camel-case unless specified as upper camel case should begin with a lower case letter.
The reason you're getting a compiler error is because you've misspelled readLine and instead typed redLine.
The line you're looking for is:
String firstName = console.readLine("whats my name? ");
Hope this helps!
