// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstname = "carlos";

Your code is fine, but for these challenges you have to name things exactly as the instructions specify. They ask you to make a variable called firstName, you have named it firstname (without a capital N). That difference is enough to make your code be marked as wrong. In programming differences in capitalization matter quite a bit.

This is also true for strings by the way, when a task asks you to print out a certain message the message you write has to match the instructions perfectly, even minor typos will be enough to get your code marked as wrong.
