  public static void main (String[] args) {
    Console console = System.console();

Hey there Mahmoud Ibrahim ! šŸ‘‹

There is a lot of code here that is likely throwing off the backend that runs these code challenge tests. The comment up top states that a java.io.Console object named console is already set up for you, so you don't need to import / set that up all over again.

You're also not expected to know how to / have to set up all the class structure and main() method either. For the first step in this challenge, you only need to do exactly what the task requests. For example:

// I have setup a java.io.Console object for you named console
String firstName = "Travis";

Just so you know going forward, these code challenges are extremely specific. Any extra code it's not asking for will likely throw errors. You can click on the "Preview" tab at the top to see the errors if you do encounter them though. Always feel free to post here as well though, we're here to help! šŸ˜ƒ
