First, you need to go to a first grade English class, then you can start getting help with coding.

Hey Motty, there actually aren't any mistakes in your code that I can see. The only thing that needs to change is what you print in your printf statement.

This challenge is expecting "First name: " and the the variable printed.

So, it should look something like.

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

Thanks, feel free to circle back to me if you have any questions.
