I am putting in the information just as it is telling me to on the video and I keep getting an error message.
// I have imported java.io.Console for you. It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("Cre? ");
String lastName = console.readLine("Lee? ");
console.printf("Hello, my name is %s/n", firstName) ;
