Thommas, I imagine this is way past due, but it had zero answers, so:

// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.

Objective 1: //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.

String firstName = console.readLine("What is your first name? ");

Objective 2: //Declare another variable, naming this one the camel-cased version of "last name". Use console.readLine to store the user's last name into this new variable.

String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name? ");

Objective 3: //Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "First name: ", followed by the first name that the user has entered.

console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

Objective 4: //Using the console's printf method, display a message that says, "Last name: " followed by the last name that the user has entered.

console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);
