Hi there,

There's three stages:

Stage 1:

String firstName = "Steve";

Stage 2:

String firstName = "Steve";
console.printf("<A NAME> can code in Java!");

Stage 3:

String firstName = "Steve";
console.printf("%s can code in Java!", firstName);

Hope that helps,

Steve.

Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine. please help me again in this question??

Hi again,

That looks like:

String firstName = console.readLine("Enter your first name: ");

Steve.
