The challenge wants you to output the name like: First name: <your name>. So that is what you need to do:
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName= console.readLine("What is your first name?");
String lastName= console.readLine("What is your last name?");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
I hope that was helpful, Patrick

console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
