159 PointsToo many correct answers.
I find that there are lots of possible answers to the fist two questions. I assumed this was because It kept mistaking things like "First Name:" as my name, so I made it as unspecific as possible and yet again got it correct. The problem though, lies in the third question which I cannot get right at all. I am not sure what to do for the third question, which is possibly because I am getting the first two questions wrong as well. Can I please have a little direction on what to do?
String firstName = console.readLine();
String lastName = console.readLine();

These sepecifers replace the string and integers when given inside printf. So in the third challenge ,you will have to use console.printf("First name:%s",firstName);And similarly for the last challenge as well.These are key concepts which will be used in every possible code of java .So i suggest you take some time in understanding these concepts in depth.
