Hi there,

The data type String needs a capital S and remove the word what on the second line of your code. Also, camel case would require a capital N in firstName. Same with readLine - that needs a capital L. Camel case starts with a lowercase letter but then has a capital letter for each joined word. Like this: camelCaseVariableName

the way you have described your variable, that is not camel case, go through the videos again.
