Please help if you can
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("what is your name? ");
String lastName=console.readLine("what is your last name? ");

String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name: ");
console.printf("First name: %s",firstName);
The printf function allows you to use modifiers, like %s, to include a variable in a printed string. Specifically, the %s modifier identifies that you are placing a String variable into the string that console.printf is printing to the console, then the named variable in the second argument substitutes its value for the %s.

Without knowing what the task is, or what result you are getting, its hard to give a good answer.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,838 PointsCan you add in what the task is instructing you to do, and what you are seeing as a problem? I remember doing this in the early stages of the Java track, but I do not recall the task and what it is telling you to do. Kind of hard to give you an answer or help if there is no direction to go with it.
