Print out to the screen using the printf method on console, "First name: " and the user's first name.

what is the solution for this I put String firstName = console.readLine("what is your first name?"); console.printf("First name: %s, firstName");

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.

String lastName = console.readLine("what is your last name?");
String firstName = "Waseem";
console.printf("First name: %s ,firstName");

firstName need to be outside of String double quote

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.

String lastName = console.readLine("what is your last name?");
String firstName = "Waseem";
console.printf("First name: %s ", firstName);

Hope that help!
