What am I doing wrong?

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

Hi Sara!

All your code looks pretty good to me! The error, however, can be found on your 'printf' line as it looks like you aren't using the method properly. Take another look at the video and see if you can figure it out!

Good luck and have fun programming.
