if you notice in your code: firstName is camel coded, as is readLine.... the first letter in the first word is lowercase, and the second part has an upper-cased letter... This is standard for a lot of programming languages and kind of helps it to be easier read....

Camelcase is when you write the first word with lowercase and then for every new word the first letter of that word has an uppercase letter, like this: camelCaseLetters, firstName, readLine etc. Get it?
