what's wrong with me?

Declare a variable that is named the camel-cased version of "first name". Store the user's first name into this new variable using console.readLine??

IO.java 
// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
public class Introduction{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Console console=System.console();
    String firstName=console.readLine("what is your name",firstName);;
    console.printf("my name is %s",firstName);
    console.printf("%s is learn java",firstName);
  }
}

Hi there,

You need to take the instructions absolutely literally - there's no need to do anything other than what the challenge requests.

So, this one requires you to create a string variable called firstName that holds your name and takes user input:

String firstName = console.readLine("What's your first name?: ");

Done!

It doesn't ask for a main method or any output (yet!) - just the one variable is all that's needed in the first task.

Steve.
