I'm trying to do the io java basics challenge, but I don't understand what it means to declare a variable. What kind of variable are they talking about? And how do I sort it?
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.

The challenge is prompting you to declare a String variable, firstName, and assign it the value returned from the readLine method.
Like so:
String firstName = console.readLine();
