hi, why it gives this error?

Name.java 
// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
public class Introductions{
  public static void main(String[] args){
    Console console=System.console();
    String firstName="damlanur";
  }

  }

Hi damlanur onat !

Don't worry about wrapping it in the class and method. I do that for you...soon enough I'll ask you for the boilerplate.

Just this'll do:

String firstName="damlanur";
