// I have imported java.io.Console for you.  It is a variable called console.
String firstName = console.readLine("what is your First name?  ");
String lastName = console.readLine("What is your last name?  ");
 console.printf("%s\n", firstName);

'''console.printf("First Name: %s %n" , firstName);''' I believe that is what you're looking for. Im pretty sure you have to put "First Name:" in the printf line
