Io.java

I don't understand this question Using the console print method write ("Firstname: ) followed by the first name entered by the user

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("whats you name?  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("whats your name?  ");
console.printf = ("Firstname: ", azaam);

First, you need to include the placeholder variable %s inside the quotations of your printf command and then you need to use the firstName variable instead of typing in azaam.

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