task 3 states: Print out to the screen using the printf method on console, "First name: " and the user's first name.

your printf output needs to look like this: "First name: whatevertheuserinput"

your current code does not output that

your code should look like this

// 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);

read the directions for each task carefully
