Treehouse TeacherYou're doing fine! You've set up everything correctly and even your %s which is the placeholder for the string that's going to be printed out. But then you never say what's going to be put in the placeholder. Take a look:
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName= console.readLine("What is your firstName?");
String lastName= console.readLine("What is your lastName?");
console.printf("First Name: %s", firstName);
This will print out "First Name: " and then the name that the user put in. Hope this helps!
