592 PointsStuck on Java Basics. Challenge Task 3
Hey, Guys. I'm Stuck on Java Basics, Task 3.
The Challenge is to use the console printf method & display the message that says, “first name:” followed by the first name that the user has entered.
thanks, Simon.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("First name:");
String lastName = console.readLine("Khong");
console.printf("%s", firstName);

String firstName = console.readLine("First name?");
String lastName = console.readLine("LastName?");
console.printf("First name: %s", firstName);

28,694 Pointsa lot of the time, you can find answers posted in the forum. You can search the forum using some text particular to that challenge (eg. search on 'console.readLine("First name:")' ) and isolate the question page for the challenge (eg. https://teamtreehouse.com/community/code-challenge:3502 ). It's often sometimes quicker than waiting on someone to answer. If something confuses you, you can assume it's confused a lot of other people.
