So the error message says Ensure you use "First name" in your format string. My code is
String firstName = console.readline("What is your first name? ");
String lastName = console.readline("What is your last name? ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s", firstName);

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

1,084 PointsThanks for Replying but I did use camel casing in the code I just forgot in the post.. But I used snippets from the previous lesson and I got that to work so I do not know what the problem is..

13,116 PointsCan you post your actual code? It is hard to help when you are using another code than the one posted.
