Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Someone please help me with this question

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("First Name:");
console.printf("First Name:%s\n", firstName);
console.printf("%s is going for goal \n", firstName);
String lastName = console.readLine("Last Name:");
  console.printf("Last Name:%s\n", lastName);

You don't need the extra "console.printf". You can do it like this:

// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("What's your first name?");
String lastName = console.readLine("What's your last name?");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);
console.printf("Last name: %s", lastName);

I hope that helps a little bit
