What does this mean Bummer! Ensure your format string contains the required text `"First name:"`

The code isnt working what is wrong with it?

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